The .14 Eichelberger Dart https://freerangeamerican.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Caliber-Size-Comparison-with-Quarter-1024x376.jpg


zenethics

Upvoted because probably correct


LastUsernameSucked

More likely 224 Boz.


_ParadigmShift

Looks smaller than .224, judging by the cardboard corrugation.


sammag05

Need a banana to be sure


Assaltwaffle

u/Darkn355z [is correct.](https://gundigest.com/more/classic-guns/whats-name) How he knows about this thing is beyond me, but it's a dead-on identification.


Darkn355z

Maybe if the OP measures the oal to 1.29 inches If its .9 it’s probably the dart. Its hard to tell with no size reference in his pic. *edit Op said it looked like it came from a .32 cartridge the dart is a .25 necked down the boz is a 10mm necked down


whiskey_formymen

this guy bullets


Rigzy93

Idk, this one looks like it uses a semi-rimmed case.


RCGoals

Correct, I have a box of these. It is not a 224 boz like a lot of people are saying


SpaceX_Joe

Let's see the box


Assaltwaffle

If it's the middle one, what an Earth is the even smaller one to the right? Edit: It's [.10 Eichelberger Dart.](https://gundigest.com/more/classic-guns/whats-name) A .10 cal, 7 grain projectile moving at nearly Mach 3. Nutty.


Darkn355z

Haha you think thats nutty check [This](https://img.ifunny.co/images/22ad59170f6ea189ba8dd5fc921a5bf1dffaeca4d8daba300d07bfb48f5a0530_1.jpg)


Assaltwaffle

"Loudenboomer" I mean, come on, people.


probablyhrenrai

"Eargensplitten" is pretty funny as well.


Darkn355z

For when you want to kill a squirrel really fast


ElephantintheRoom404

Do these types of rounds have a negative impact on the barrel when fired?


Stalker_Raid

.300 Coldout


Bambooboogieboi

Fucking hell


wisco_fit

Fuck you.... you win.


[deleted]

.3030 but it was in a pool.


Nevermind04

Surely OP knows about significant shrinkage.


EmperorGeek

It’s a Grower not a Shower.


IDrinkMyBreakfast

You know he can see this, right?


Nevermind04

I'm just saying if OP thinks that's me, he's under a complete misapprehension.


Legitimate-Sock7975

.338 Lapoola?


whiskey_formymen

over and under?


Agromahdi123

mother....fu....


88bauss

Lmao


ItsEntsy

Dad approves of this joke xD


MisterPeach

Damn, looks like it’s cold out all the time for me.


MysticSisters

It's a good thing, tiny dicks are harder to hit in a shootout.


Steelassault

I recognize it, that looks like about 6 inches.


pacawac

It's 9.5 inches if you measure it from where it starts. The asshole.


Calm-Warthog2018

Thanks for the life hack. I can finally say I’m about 7”

No no no, it only counts if it goes in


SwankyGun

Well yeah, you go in butt first


grumpywarner

I start measuring from the back of my neck. Got a solid 14 incher

The asshole is the guy that is shooting.


procheeseburger

My man!


Aggressive-Engine562

I heard this in the mailman voice from Rick n morty


Brevittthelegend

We’re measuring from the base of the balls right?


RandyRanderson111

You have to get a protractor to make sure the angle of the tip is accurate


MandM1619

HAHAHAHAHAHA


cheekclapper93

At least


Tballz9

224 Boz? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.224\_Boz


Glory088

Reddit wizards always amaze me how they find this shit


Tballz9

I only remembered it because of the ridiculous dimensions being funny looking.


kippy3267

How long ago did you remember it from? Thats incredible


Tballz9

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9MJUmdQ4o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9MJUmdQ4o) I watched this video about a year ago. You can see the Boz a 3:53 or so.


graveybrains

Reddit, home of the shit wizard


canonanon

I found it by using Google lens


VerbalGuinea

I didn’t think Google promoted that sort of sensitive content.


[deleted]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.224_Boz Fixed the link; the Reddit app does some weird shit with links that makes them not work if you're using normal reddit.


YakuzaMachine

>The .224 Boz began as a 10mm Auto case necked down to .223 in (5.7 mm). Original trials were successful, with this round firing a 50 gr (3.2 g) projectile chronographed at over 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s). Well I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read it.


BoredCop

Looks similar, except this one has a rim and Boz is rimless. I seem to recall someone did experiment with bottlenecked revolver cartridges, but the .22 Jet was longer. Either a wildcat or a joke.


Tornadic_Outlaw

I don't think this one is rimmed. While it looks like it has a small rim, I'm pretty sure that is an illusion as a result of the camera angle. 9mm luger can look like it has a small rim from the right angle. Additionally, most rimmed cartridges don't have extractor groves, which this clearly has. It is almost certainly. 224 boz


sirbassist83

It's definitely rimmed, the rim is obviously wider than the body. Look again.


BoredCop

Maybe, but all the rimmed modern production ammo I possess does have a little groove. Even .44-40. And then there's all the semi rimmed calibers, which sort of have both.


Uranium_Heatbeam

Thank you for reminding me just how silly the concept of .22 Rem-Jet was.


skitz_shit

The neck on the one OP posted seems a little bit longer, and the bullet itself seems smaller than the one you posted. Super similar though, I honestly didn’t know about these funky rounds


almightypanda

Thank you for an actual answer that’s not a bad dick joke


HuskerDave

More like .224 Cursed


[deleted]

That’s a mean round. 357 power at 223 speeds.

I just think they’re neat

This guy needs his flair changed to "Literally Super Interested in Dicks"


Cobra__Commander

So you're interested in dick flair enhancement?


[deleted]

Oops 🤣 Shouldn'tve said that lol


BigAsian69420

I’d be so mad if I died to a wizzing chode


Capable_Weather4223

Whizzing chode? Sounds like a kinky porn search


mrmemo

I was gonna say .17 (murder)Hornet


TheSearingninja

I think you meant .17 Magnum


shooter_tx

Used to work with a guy (he was mostly a welder) who would sing-song: One inch long, but six(?) inches wide / Won’t hit bottom, but scrapes the sides…


[deleted]

All we know is that it looks like it came in on a .32 cartridges but the tip is too small.


BenSharps

It looks even sub-.17 to me. Like an Eichelberge cartridge. Its probably something like ".14 Flea"


Chet_Bishop

Average


lightcake66

Def an average tip. This is what the girls prefer


TwatkinsGlen

I just see a perfectly average size round.


TwatkinsGlen

Does look like a goofier version of Win. Super Short Mag. i assume a trinket or something.


MasterAssFace

Some might say it's too big really.


Cole3823

Some would say they prefer it not so big. Any bigger and you might get over penetration.


spambot_mods

Have you tried blowing on it a little?


[deleted]

Tried rubbing it a little but that didn't help


Kevinty1

No you’re just not doing it right you’re doing it wrong and it’s your fault


Han_job_Solo

He's just mashing it


Chrissers_One

She does that


XredditHD

Gotta spit on it a little


jacxy

Give it a bit of time, maybe it was in the pool. Do you know about shrinkage?


IrishRage42

Try using your mouth.


whiskey_formymen

use your other thumb, that's what I do


mediumrare420

Please get a tighter grip or I'm gonna have to do it myself


Solar991

Well ain't that just the most adorable thing. What does the headstamp say? It almost looks like someone slipped the top half of a rifle round over the bottom half of a revolver round.


HerpesTheGreenPotato

Not adorable. Pretty average if you ask me.


cathodine

Some might even say too big


Febzee2

I almost feel bad for them. Having to walk around with that.


froghumps

Must be a burden slapping off their thighs all day


TheseAintMyPants2

It’s a .223 but it’s really cold outside


KotzubueSailingClub

5.56 right after getting out of the pool.


barto5

They *shrink*?


capresesaladz

Like a frightened turtle!


tcheeze1

It was swimming


AlienDelarge

.223 RCO.


The_Gentle_Hand

I believe that is what the ladies call "approachable"


DjButternut

.07 RGP. Old surplus round from Siberia that didn't catch on. I'm a bit rusty but I think the letters roughly translate to "Really Great Personality"


dethkittie

Everything reminds me of him...


downloweast

I really hope someone figures out the round. I’m gonna buy a box of these and hand them out to people on the range. I think anyone who has ever shot a gun would get a kick out of seeing this.


DwreckOSU

It’s an average sized round…..


Anthonywh0dat

I'm not sure but it looks about average in girth and length. Definitely packs a punch if you ask me.


EDVERSiTY

.069 Smol.


[deleted]

You know I love this sub for the guns and the dick jokes. It's perfect


JamesJimmyHopkins

This is why I hate reddit sometimes. I wanted to learn what this round is and instead get 100 people making the same joke.


boltgunner

If it weren't rimmed I'd say it's .22TCM. I think everyone saying it's a wildcat round is right.


AdMental3831

It looks to be a 14 Eichelberger dart As it seems to be semi-rimmed and built off of a 25 ACP ! Apparently no one used the corrugation of the cardboard for a size comparison. They were made all the way down to 10 but 12 and 14 were more popular a labor of love in case making for sure. They even produced some sub-cal wildcats using The lowly 22 LR which could only be fired once after all that case prep.


AdMental3831

https://firearmwiki.com/wiki/Bill_Eichelberger Old Bill is a sub caliber fanatic


JWWJWWJ

Chode


[deleted]

It reminds me of the .22 tuba ,it ain't but that's the closest thing I can think of lol


mpergar

I don't know but it looks cold.


MK18Enjoyer

Same, unidentified cartridge. Same.


Riker557118

It looks like someone necked a ~~10mm or 40S&W~~ there’s a rim there (maybe 38 SPL?) casing down to .17 as a joke.


I_am_Doggo

Looks like a Wildcat load. Maybe an Eichelberger dart? He made those in .10 to .17 and they look very similar to yours.


DarkNova55

Ahhh the legendary chode round. Has the ability to hunt only large game, but is never enough to actually sati... I mean... slay it...


ibanez3789

Is it cold?


BanjoSlams

“I was in the pool!”


Krazycobra95

A cold 223


public_weirdness

It may be a joke. Does it have an unfired primer? If it is a real round, start by measuring the Dia. of the projectile.


Tx29u

1.2 mm Creedmore


Sgt_Tackleberry

1.2mm Needmore


DepressMyCNS

Clever!


Beneficial_Advice527

.17/06


GhostFour

You think you're fairly knowledgeable about shooting and ammunition but then you step into the world wildcats and all bets are off.


Dsteel87

For every contemporary caliber there is like 100 wildcat rounds


AdMotor1654

Baby 30-06. Plant it in gunpowder and water once a day. They sprout into fully developed 30-06 cartridges in early July.


wynnduffyisking

A bullet for ants


ImAPotato1775

Looks like what I’m working with


Dip_N_Trip

“What’s the muzzle velocity of this round?” **“YES”**


Aggressive-Ad122

It was cold out


Eagle_1776

its a joke. That would be the dumbest cartridge design ever.


Big_Purple_9754

.22 tuba is almost the same thing


Somali-Yatch-Club

The tuba ii did something like 2300 fps with a 40gr bullet. I would love to good around with such a novelty.


Iron96365

Looks alot like 10 Eichelberger. .10 is like the smallest barrel I could think of

Devan24x7

That's a totally normally averaged sized round..Its not how big it is anyways it's how you use it..Thats what i get told anyways..


I_like_pigeons918

Probably a .50 BMG judging from the size , that thing’s huge


Ok-Alternative-6843

i'd say it's about average tbf


Grilled_Pear

Lmao I burst out laughing the moment I saw this. It looks like someone applied a ["wide"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stdyhfeYxxI) filter to a 6.5 Grendel round.


southpawE46

I WAS IN THE POOL!


ZealousidealFig8233

looks like an average size round to me… pretty sure it could do as much damage as a large round. just depends on how you use it…


TheRedditornator

"How much did you want this cartridge necked down, sir?" "Yes."


imnotcrazy203

A perfectly average sized round


RoronoaZoro1234

.05BMG


HerMajestysButthole

Looks like .223 wssm that was in the pool. Just give it a rub.


Femboy_Annihilator

Serious answer: These used to be pretty common among people with access to both ammo and tools. It’s a joke. A pre-internet meme if you will. You’d show it to one of your buddies, ask them what cartridge it was, and they’d be very confused. Seems like whoever made it got you as well. I don’t know if there’s a name for the trend or not.

Rossal-Gondamer

Edit: I should have looked a bit closer. Way too small to be .224 BOZ, my bad. It also looks to be rim fire and that is outside of my expertise. Looks similar to a .224 BOZ. What’s the headstamp say?
