[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 985823, member: 656"] Been trying to figure out how to send this in a PM, but I have been unable to. I am a collector of odd cartridges and recently had some interest in the .55 Boyes from a fella here, so I figured that I would just start a thread and post the picture for all. The Boyes was Britain's "Anti-Tank rifle", in comparison to the US' 50 BMG. It is a .585 bore, where the 50 BMG is a .510. I believe that the Brits spell it Boys, however I have always seen it spelled Boyes in books. My picture is of the .55 Boyes, .50 BMG, .338 Allen Express, .300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, and the venerable .25-06. Relative links can be found on the Net, and the caliber is almost extinct, as most Boyes rifle owners convert their rifles to shoot the more available .50 BMG ammunition. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
