So I was very recently given a collection of 52 rounds (both rifle and pistol). Most of these rounds are slightly damaged or in otherwise un-fireable condition. So what I think I'm going to do is build a display for them. I'm thinking a glass front wood box with narrow shelves and labels for each round saying what it is.
There are a few holes I'd like to fill, so I'm going to include a list of what I have. So if you know of a place for me to get 1 round of something I don't have shoot me an IM.  It doesn't even need to have powder or primer, just bullet seated in case would work for what I'm doing.
Also, if you have any suggestions as to what I should add (even if you can't help me find one) that would be appreciated as well. So here's the list, I've sorted them by pistol and rifle and roughly by caliber. Rimfire .22lr .22 mag Pistol .25 auto .32 auto .380 auto 9x19 (9mm Luger) 9x21 (9mm IMI) .38 Super .38 S&W .38-40 Win .38 Special .357 Magnum .357 Rem Max (.357 SuperMag) .357 Sig .38 ACP .40 S&W 10mm .41 AE .41 Rem Mag 400 cor-bon .45 ACP .45 super .45 auto rim .45 Win Mag .50 AE Rifle .17 Rem .218 Bee .221 Rem Fireball .22 Hornet .222 Rem .222 Rem Mag .256 Win Mag .223 Rem / 5.56x45mm 6mm PPC .30 Carbine .300 Savage .300 Win Mag .303 British .32 Winchester Special .32 Winchester Self Loading 30-30 Win 30-40 Krag 30-06 Springfield 7.62x39mm 7.62x54R .308 Win / 7.62x51mm NATO .348 Win .444 Marlin .458 Win Mag .45-70 Govt Offered: .338 Rem Ultra Mag 6.8 SPC 5.7x28mm .50 BMG .44 Mag .300 Rem Ultra Mag (maybe) .32-20 7.62x25mm 7.65x53mm Argentine 25mm 6mm Rem 6mm Remington International 7mm Rem Mag 350 Rem Mag 6x47 (Swiss match?) .250-3000 Savage .32 Rem 6.5x55mm Mauser .25-35 Win 10.4x38R Vetterli M69/81 (a.k.a. .41 Swiss) Rimfire .45 Colt 300 Whisper 32 S&W 300 WSM 260 Rem 458 SOCOM .243 Win .300 H&H Mag 7mm RUM .348 Win 8x56R 8mm Mauser .450 Marlin .380 Webley 7.62x38R .44 AMT .300 RUM 500 S&W (brass only) 20mm Mk149 (case) 250 Savage (brass only) .22 BR and 6mm BR (brass only) I'll Update the list as I get more.

Sweet! On the .50 BMG I figured I'd pick one of those up at shizzle since it's the only round I know of that I can buy individually but if youre willing to give me one I'm not going to say no.
ETA: the rounds I have are far from pretty (for the most part) so there will be a fair bit of cleanup going on already. I'll probably spray some clear lacquer on them so they don't oxidize. |

I've been thinking of doing something similar (if I ever get around to it) and have a few duplicates in my collection that you're welcome to. These are all loaded rounds. .250-3000 Savage (marked REM-UMC and 250 HP) .32 Remington (Peters) 6.5x55 Mauser (Western) .25-35 Winchester (REM-UMC) .30-40 Krag (I know you have one already, but this one is marked U.S.C.Co. and 30. GOV.) and .10.4x38R Vetterli M69/81 (a.k.a. .41 Swiss) rimfire Lemme know! |

If that takes the same slug as 50ae, I could throw in a projectile.
IM the address for the incoming ORM-D. (Is there any restriction on mailing small amounts of ammo?) Maybe we could meet at Red Robin and all toss our rounds out on the table.

Thanks guys! Spanky, just for the sake of posterity, is it a loaded round or just the brass?  Just the brass... DO you think I have any load ammo...? |

Small Arms = <20mm. That's what I mean. I've been offered a 20mm case, and a dummy 25mm round, so I was thinking that if I can get a few more 20mm and up stuff than I would made a separate display for them. As they would take up a lot of room in the other display.
