Too much neck for a .38-40, but I like whatever it is.

Not 38-40, it's a new one for me that has piqued my interest.

It is an absolutely lovely cartridge. I have one in a Marlin 1894. Mine is the old one, but they made them in recent times too.

Easy peasy. Just takes a 300 Ham'r reamer.

Not really a "name that cartridge," because I have no idea what it is. Found this over a year ago at a range, if I remember correctly it was a Creedmoor case. The only thing I can figure is..... well, I have no idea what happened here. The pic was still on my phone and this thread reminded me. Any ideas, mutant wildcat, freak accident???

That’s the new top secret 6.5 HUSH. The cartridge equivalent of ears tucked into a flat bill.

Or maybe they tried to fire it in a .308?

Nah, that's a 6.5 senator Ackley improved right there.. dead give away, take something effective and doublefuck it up.

That is a weird one. Not sure how you could shoot in the wrong chamber and get that crisp of a shoulder, unless the shoulder was set like that. I'm guessing they used a 6.5pcc reamer set/fishinsh the shoulder?

Here’s one for the guessing:

25-25 Stevens? I'm dredging some very old grey matter, so may have that a bit off the mark.

Let's scratch that off and try .25-21 Stevens.

That's what I was thinking also.

looks like maybe a rechamber gone awry.

Well, I have two more guesses to throw out there.

How about .22-15 Stevens? Another cartridge I've never even seen.

You’re incredible close to the actual head stamp.

.22-15-60 UMC

I actually found one of these in the field and had to research what it was.

Stock google photo as I can’t find the actual cartridge at the moment.
