Best looking round

[Brian Rothhammer]

Not sure about any of the "manbun" rounds, but I'll play. How about an original DWM factory, Bell era, 173 gr FMJ-RN 7x57 sitting on top of Bell's drawing of elephant anatomy

6.5x54 Mannlicher with 160grn round nose bullet!

Pics or it doesn't count.

Most of the rounds so far are all good looking rounds, but I have these that havent been mentioned yet and are favs of mine, in both looks and performance.
l-r 7x64, 8x64s, .35 Winchester

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but my Mannlicher Schoenauer M1910 (9.5X57 - .375 Nitro Express Rimless 2.25") is rather fond of these:

I was in the gun safe a couple of hours ago looking around. My vote still goes to the 7x57, but I’ve got to admit that the .22 hornet is a pretty cool little round.

30-06 for me, especially when loaded with 220s

@WAB
What about the sexy little K Hornet

took this picture today during my range/flogging session.
The other two American girls to go with Mr Wyatt’s 30-06. The 308win and 300win mag. Both loaded longer than SAAMI COAL

I like the look of most cartridges loaded with long, heavy traditional round nose soft point bullets. But the old time traditional rounds are best. There has already been pictures posted previously for the 6.5x54MS/156 gr. RN, 7x57/175gr. RN, 30-06/220gr. RN, .318 W-R/250gr. RN, 9.3x62/286gr. RN, .375 H&H/300 Gr. RN, etc. If they are loaded with Proper traditional bullets, and have shiny nickel plated cases, even better. For looks, anyway!
Someone please post a picture of a .303 British/215 gr. RN for me. Then we've covered most of the famous ones.

Has anyone mentioned the trusty old 470 Nitro Express yet? I love loading these massive cartridges into a double, pretty impressive looking cartridge IMO.

As a Scandi i have to say 8mm PMM,Poor Mans Magnum

He took the .300 HH case cut it down to what became ca lenght of later Norma Twins.
Slightly rebated it as not to rework a standard k98 bolt

Altered the magazine And chamber,keeping same barrel in 8mm.
