Hopefully this is in the right part of the forum, if not could a moderator put it in the correct location.
Does anyone know what calibre this rimfire brass is, for comparison it is next to a 223.
Thanks
Sam

Re: What rimfire cartridge
Thanks very much for identifying it for me, not something I have ever seen before and the farmer that asked me to find out found it in a cupboard in his mums house when she died. He said in his lifetime on the farm (60+) years they only ever had shotgunsl
Cheers

Re: What rimfire cartridge
The 9mm garden gun is a shotgun, used for shooting rats and suchlike.

Re: What rimfire cartridge
Had one many moons ago and I can assure you it was useless for rats. It was originally made as a garden gun for shooting (more like scaring) birds in orchards, as the shot was so useless it didn't harm the fruit. 
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Re: What rimfire cartridge
So - The 9mm rimfire shotgun was referred to as the No 3 garden gun. The also useless .22 shotshell was referred to as the No1 Garden gun. Has anyone come across a No 2 Garden gun?
I have a brass 7mm shot cartridge that was used in a walking cane shotgun but it's centrefire - Any thoughts?
