Cartridge Blunders Examples

[Bazoo]

Im working on a little project and I am in need of some cases that are suffering from the bad things that can happen in reloading. I don't reload much in the way of high power rifles where most of these things occur to have samples of them myself. The ones I have had samples of, I have discarded unfortunately.

1, bright incipient case head separate rings
2, large crack or full separation
3, cases with lube dents
4, cracked case mouth
5, split on side of pistol case

6, cratered primer
7, ruptured primer
8, primer blown completely out
9, severely backed out primer due to headspace
10, severely flattened primer
11, cartridge with leakage around primer

12, a couple berdan primed cases

So, if you have examples of these you'd be willing to send, please comment or message me.

Thanks all.

Bazoo, wish I knew this last week. I always smash any damaged casings before I toss them to make sure I don’t reuse them. Had a couple of 38 Spec cases with neck and side splits. I’ll keep my eyes open next time I reload. Might find more. Some of my cases have been reloaded many times.

Think I tossed the BO cases that now look like belted magnums.

# 12, do you mean Berdan not Boxer?

Not to seem uncooperative but what would provide in return for someone providing such things? Many of the things you want, you should be able to create. I can make some of them but it requires effort and then there is postage.

Yes, I meant berdan. I cant make over pressure signs like blown primers and the like... not safely at least. I don't have a bolt gun, much less a gun where I push the limits.

I wouldn't want anyone to actually create most of those things on purpose, but I figure that someone will have a coffee can full of odds and ends that have some that I can use for my pics.

Preciate the suggestion, but I am wanting pics for my website and not for my personal use. Internet photos are actually owned by the photographer, though someone would have to challenge you over it if you use one without permission. However, they usually aren't to the detail I am able to take with my camera anyway.
