#1 is correct & #5 is the correct case but wrong caliber. 

So far, those are the only two correct.

Some hints for #2, 3, and 4. 

#2 is a standard cartridge, and was once very popular among benchrest shooters, Walt Berger among them.

#3 is a very popular wildcat off of one of the most produced cartridges in America.

#4 is a necked down version of a cartridge that they actually changed the name of because the early guns chambered in this particular cartridge didn't have a fast enough twist for some of the ammo being shot in it and it shot poorly so they re-released it with a different name and in guns with the appropriate twist rate.

One of them that I thought would be the easiest, kind of turned out to be one of the hardest.

1)  17 Hornady Hornet

2)  222 Remington

3)  223 Ack Imp

4)  22-6mm Rem. also known as a TTH or Texas Trophy Hunter

5)  6-284

6)  338 Lap Imp w/40 degree shoulder
