Three pics of the same cartridges.
Some used in Africa and some not.
The classification of these cartridges would run from light African game to heavy African game animals.
Do you recognize them ?
Take your best shot . . . . (no pun intended) . . . . careful now in your choices.

The cartridge one the far right looks like our old friend, the .303.

4th from right is a 375 H&H mag? Another winner ! Yes, the 4th cartridge (counting right to left ) is the 375 H&H.

third from left looks like a 577 nitro express but it could also be a 450ne, or 500ne does not look wide enough to be a 600ne,
just for fun one last guess could it be a 50-140 sharps
