.22 Mag is wider at the base than .22 LR, but I can't tell if the first 2 are the same diameter or not.

I have seen the 3rd one before I just cant think of it and one of them is going to have to be for your Enfield so one is a .303 British. (I think thats what you call the .303 a "British" right?) Also I bet you own all the guns that can fire these cartridges. ;D

And you are probably right Fatman I just did a quick list by looking real quick I thought I might get a steak.

Yep there is a .303 British

the 2nd one is a .22mag   

the 3rd one is larger than .22 ;) 

I wish I owned all of them   ( i have a massive case of CBF going through the shit for a .50bmg  + bit too $$$ if I could get one atm)
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Hazcatting a guess at #4 - some kind of Martini Henry (.577/460???) or similar from Zulu War era.
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

I thought it was some old-timey thing too but those were all rimmed as far as I know.
