I collect alot of ammunition, I tend to go Full autist and buy as much of a particular run as I can, Like I bought like 180 rounds of French and Austrian made .30-1906 just to have. I also have 360 rounds of M1906 Ball .30-1906 made by the US.C.Co. in 1917. Dont have a pic of most of it cus no Camera lel

No, but I have wanted to collect a cartridge from different calibers. You can't buy individual rounds so I haven't bothered.
There are people at gun shows selling loose ammo? III don't remember seeing that at the shows I've been too, of course I was more focused on the guns and knives themselves at the time.

OP here, bumping, be back in a bit

>>33200290
Yeah, there are usually dudes selling old ammo and they usually have loose rounds. If you can go to a antique militaria show, that'd be your best bet.

>>33199015
I keep a good example of the calibers of each guns I own.

I thought about buying some military surplus of other calibers that I don't own. But then I'd get one bullet, and a bunch of others I can't shoot.

My collection mostly fell into my lap. A forensics guy died and I have the rifle, shotgun, and strange misc/old cartridge boxes from it.

By pure weight though, my main collection is mostly split the common slav/nato calibers and 12ga shotgun.
My main spread is a bit wide to get a great picture of the whole thing at once. At least until I get a better camera.

I'll keep this mind. I may do a search and see when/where the next closest one will take place.

>>33201702
Yeah, that is what I was saying earlier. Regular ammo is expensive enough without buying a bunch of ammo for guns I don't own. I would like to have a little display with different calibers so when a customer asks, "what is the difference between a 243 and a 30-06?" I can show them the display. I may print out a picture of them anyway for the same purpose.

savior bump?

>>33203435

Never seen that kind of bullet on a 50bmg before, it serve any kind of purpose? Looks neat.

OP here, and I had to look around a little for mine. Usually there's a few guys selling it. All the ones in >>33202090 I got from this old former East German army guy who has a big box full of loose rounds he sells for 50 cents apiece. He wasn't there yesterday when I went but everything I got in >>33202327 and >>33202337 was from this guy who had a bunch of these loose and was selling them in the little baggies with labels like you see there.

As for the thing to show customers, you can get pic related as a big poster and it shows everything in life size.

Nice. This thread made me remember that my grandpa gave my 2 boxes of shotshells from a brand called active. They're an all plastic hull with a steel insert. If this thread is still up when I get home I'll take pictures, they look like pic related.

I don't see any 9x39mm's in there. They are extremely scarce in the US.

Here are a bunch of Russian cartridges from my collection.

All plastic shells appeared in the 1970's and I believe ACTIV was the last brand available. I've got some others by Herter's, Eclipse and Wanda. Wanda's tend to be the most well-known in the collector community but they were plagued with quality control issues during their production. Eclipse shells were all plastic except the primer but the ACTIV shells had a reinforcing ring in the head.

Nothing he's posted so far in here sets him apart from any other anon. That coupled with the attention whoring of tripfagging puts him in the hole.

Trip hate is a far worse cancer than tripfags themselves. You've contributed nothing to this conversation, you've just emerged to be contrarian.
