East German 7.62x39 blanks...don't see that too much anymore. 30-40 rounds worth.
Radway Green .303 tracer. 10 rounds on en-blocs. |
|
300 Savage.....never had one, don't plan on getting one, don't know where in the hell it came from.
|
|
What I was told was "urban" 7.62x54r that wouldn't go through walls. Very light bullet weight, rounded nose; white tip, IIRC.
Don't know the real story on it. I've also read it's training ammo. |
|
High pressure test proof loads.
Those stay well away from the rest of the ammo. |
|
lots of Guatemalan M193 that is NOT corroded at all, and I paid less than $0.11 each SHIPPED...
|
|
Some wooden 38-40 shotshells.
Shit loads of 300blk in ziploc sandwich bags |
|
Custom 12 gauge shells. A marble topped off with a pinch of birdshot.

Steel case, laquered, sort of a gray/green color? The Czechs made that as low cost, low recoil training ammo. Most of the projectile is wood, as I recall. I have nothing really odd, the strangest would probably be the single round of 8mm Lebel with a 1906 headstamp a friend found in the basement of his new house. |

I have some .30 US (.30-40 Krag) military ammo from 1901. About 40 rounds of it. Also have some original 1886 kropatschek ammo unopened in the package.
I have some cool stuff from WWII also. 8mm, pre war 7.62x54, .30 carbine and M2, 9mm black tipped for MP40s, 7.7 rimmed for the Japanese Type 92 in feed trays. Not a lot of it's too rare but it starting to become hard to come by. Then again, so is M193... |

I think the boxes were the same as other Czech surplus, so that would make sense. |

I have a Burnside round. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/HD1934/single%20cartridges/Burnside001.jpg And a tround: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j233/rastabobsled/tround2.jpg And a bunch of other oddball stuff laying around Cool tround! I had the option to buy a gyrojet round a couple times, but didn't have the money or inclination. Fascinating, though. |

Some WWI British .303 rounds that may or may not go off after a hangfire.
Some WWII German 8mm rounds in original packaging. |
|
I'll have to dig some stuff out and take pictures of it for the thread.

I'll load four full power loads in the mag, then one training round on top. After the first shot they say "this doesn"t kick like a mule as you said it would..". Then they touch off the second round. Oddball rounds here include a 30-06 flare round, plastic case 7.62x51 blanks and of course the Czech x54 training rounds. |

.375 H&H and .50BMG in my safe..... rarest in the overall.... but best rounds for most uses I can think of.
|

I have a couple sealed boxes of 1880's vintage .45 colt to go with my SAA of the same era.
|
|
As opposed to least unique?
I have some 308 win that has wooden bullets. I used to have (before I shot it all) some 7.62x39 that had a steel bullet jacket with a polymer (of some sort) core. |
|
SAKO 7.62x39mm
Lapua 7.62x39mm Australian F1 packed in blister packs (the ammo isn't unique but the packaging is) |
|
M788
and a WWII anti-aircraft round that I got from my Grandpa. Both of these are of course, inert. |
|
Quoted: I dig the 8x56r. I've got a bunch of 40's marked Austrian sitting around. Is it worth anything? |
|
7.62x45 and the rifle for it
44 russian 44 american 5mm rimfire 9mm glazer rounds, blue tip |
|
I have 4 20 round boxes of 45 acp make at the Frankford arsenal in the late teens according to the head stamp.
|
|
Used to have some early 80's production .303 British. Made by Winchester for a military contract.
Now my most unique ammo is some .38 Super 107gn JHP made by Leo Jurras' Super Vel. |
|
|
Some factory reloaded .30-06 hunting ammunition. It's several decades old. They used Hornady bullets, and the brass is all military from WWII and Korean War era.

SAKO 7.62x39mm Lapua 7.62x39mm Australian F1 packed in blister packs (the ammo isn't unique but the packaging is) I have a couple of thousand rounds of that Lapua 7.62x39. Got it for cheaper than steel cased stuff, since the gentleman selling it just wasn't moving it. |

7.62x45 and the rifle for it 44 russian 44 american 5mm rimfire 9mm glazer rounds, blue tip I saw a box of Remington 5mm rimfire at the fun show today. What is it for? |

Probably a .56-56 Spencer, although I have a bunch of odd wildcat rounds, and an old HE shell, from my father, that I believe was from a small naval gun - perhaps 2 inch. He did fire control in the Navy back in the 50s, so I believe that is the source (never got a chance to ask as he died when I was 10). It was actually live until I was about 8, when he had someone pull it, remove the charge from the projectile, and pop the primer.

I have some North Korean 7.62x39 rds. Funny story, but a co-worker of mine actually found them in the parking lot of a local Dollar General. Don't remember where I put them, but I looked up the headstamp, and they were from North Korea. Also have some .50 BMG from 1942 linked with 4-1 tracers rds. Lots of .30-06 blanks from WWII.
