    help me start a cartrige collection

    I want to start a cartridge collection I was looking for some help getting this project underway only need two pieces of brass of any caliber new or old. what do you have? I would pay for shipping and wouldn't turn down much of anything right now to get it going. Please let me know if you can help. Also if a few folks who may have a collection now could post a pic or 2 of there setup that would be great too. Thanks in advance for any and all help my plan is to have one standing up and one laying down so the head stamp is visible if you only have 1 piece that's fine too

    I have a lot of different ones that I need to get rid of, I guess you want empty ones would get expensive sending live ammo I think?

    What ones do you have? Add a list of what you have on hand, I'll see what I can add.

    To get around the live ammo fees some members may have the boolits to go w/ the cases. Ship together then push the projectile ( maybe proojectile) into the case for a loaded look round.

    Great idea! I have one rolling and add to it when I can remember. One time I was visiting friends and shot a rare Japanese caliber a buddy had. I left a loaded round in my coat pocket to add to my collection, well when I got to the air port I completely forgot about it and the security did not think to kindly of it. Especially when I mentioned there isn't a GUN within 100 miles that could shoot it.!. bam!!! right into the "secret room" I went. After signing my life away, loosing the cartridge,a fulllllll pat down and nearly missing my flight, I was on the no fly list for the next 5 years.... So yea, empty is key! I will go through my stash and help ya out.

    Are you collecting all manufactures of each or just sticking with calibers? Keep the nickle ones in there too for color even if it's the same caliber.

    I have quite a few oddball calibers that I've picked up over the years. Once you get your list sorted out let us know and I'll send some your way. In return just post a picture of the completed project!

    Back in the first part of 2006 we did a cartridge swap over on shootersforum, you might want to read that long thread for some ideas. http://www.shootersforum.com/cartridge-collecting/

    Maybe if enough people were interested we could do something like that on here.

    I've got 25acp, 257 Roberts, 5.7x28, 7.62x54R, 7.62x39, 8mm mauser, 357 SIG and several others I can send if you send me a PM with an address. What about rimfire? I have 17HM2, 17HMR, 5mm Rem mag, 22 mag and of course 22lr.
    If you say you can't, you probably won't.

    Are you interested in Wildcats or want to stick with factory cartridges?
    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? (Sgt. Oddball, KELLY'S HEROES)

    Definetly want wildcats too I figure they will be the hardest to come up with though

    My plan is too have 3 cases 1 for pistol 1 for rifle and 1 for wildcats and maybe a 4th for shorgun shells
