Ol' John

I'll be to find, by the window looking for the postman, the next couple of days!!!

I'm really looking forward to add those to my collection. Dont worry 'bout the space. I'll make more shelfs if needed.
I still have a loooooong way to go. (to get one of each cartridge of the world!! )
I know I'll never get there, but it's fun to see how close I can get. And every one of them, is spesial.(at least in my eyes)

HondoJohn6508.

30/378 Wby. (.358)
300 Dakota. (.358)
244 Remington. (.358)

Thanks again guys!!

NOW.......this is starting to look like a collection, dont you think??
(I'll better update the pictures. It's less space on the shelf now.)

Here we go again!!
"Candy" still pops into my mailbox!!

I would give my thanks to JoeM. for a:
19/223.and,
20/223.and,
20/223.Ackley Improved.!!

How do you get these bullets?? Do you calibrate them from .224" bullets, or do you custom-order them as a special item??

I would also thank "Kimber" (on a Norwegian forum) for a:
7x61 Sharp & Hart.!!

Keep'em coming!!
(I promisse I'll take very good care of them.)

Arild
The 19 cal bullets are only made my Jim Calhoon.
www.jamescalhoon.com

The 20's used to be a specialty item, but these days they are becoming as popular as the 17's

Russ Lucas has started making them
www.smallcaliberbullets.com

Hornady makes the 33 grain Vmax. By the way, their factory is only an hour west of me!

Berger makes the 36 grain MEF that I sent you.
And they have expanded thier lineup for 3 or 4 new weights this summer. And J4 will make raw jackets for a custom swager.

Badger Ridge Bullets also makes 20 calibers, but I dont have thier website right now.

Arild, There is a bunch of activity right now in the calibers below .224". Not real common, its a "seek and ye shall find" proposition. But it is going on. There is a wealth of info here, and on www.saubier.com

I would be there are dozen 20 cal variants and 4 or 5 19 cal variants on this side of the ocean!! Very exciting.

Oh, and one more tning. All the bullets listed above for 20 cal are .204" nominal diameter.
There is another "20 caliber" that uses a .2045" nominal diameter. This one was used by Remington years ago for the 5mm Remington Rimfire. It never took off, and ammo is now hard to find. What a lot of guys have done is order a custom bolt, and convert it to 5mm Craig. Which, essentially, is a reloadable 5mm Rimfire. Bullets for this one can be had from Certech, and they use the same "slick silver" plating process that you see on the 19-223 round I sent you. "Slick Silver", BTW, is some type of zinc.

Arild, it's time for a picture update !

The update is coming. You see, I have to borrow a digital camera to do it. I havent had the economical possibility yet, to but my own camera.
I guess I spend to much on rifles and reloading components(?)

Finally!!!!

A norwegian friend donated a .378 Wby. for my collection!! I've been looking for that one for some time.
Thank you, Kimber!!

I'm still VERY open for donations, and would appreciate (a lot) if anybody have something for me that I still dont have!!

I was to a antique military-show and bought this one:

12,7x108 Russian.(?)

Is this the right name?
Looks like a 50 BMG Magnum!

Suddenly I stumbled over some items I still dont have, in a gunstore I visited:

22 PPC.
224 Wby.
6mm PPC.

Nice!! Still growing!! (slower though.)

Does anybody out there have the new WSSM's yet??
I would love to have those in my collection, and maybe the first in the country. I dont belive anybody have those here in Norway yet.

460Wby,

I bow to your genius. That's more than merely impressive. You could spend a lifetime amassing all those cases. You must ripple with pride each time you're near them. I congratulate you. Best wishes.

Cal - Montreal

460wby--I have half dozen wildcats.458 Hubel
Express, 550 HE, 700 HE. and 3 shorter versions
of the 700.Could you get me 3 of the large 12.8
x 108 Russian MG cartridges,In trade?Ed.

Hubel458.
I'll see what I can do, and come back to you.
But I'll have to make dummies of them though, to ship them over to you.

Thanks, Cal Sibley!!
I LOVE my collection. I look at it every day!!

460wby--What do you have to do to make them
shippable/Empty brass is fine with me/no bullets,
powder, or primer is fine.Wouldn't care for holes
in them.Need only three, for wildcat project.

The brass I have to send you is empty and unprimed, is that ok for shipping to your
country...Ed.

I haven been able of getting hold of more of those yet, but I'll ask the man (I bought it from) as soon as I see him. It has to be dummies to be shiped, yes.

I was lucky to get a 9,3x66 Sako this afternoon!!

Are you still missing 8-bore, 4-bore, and 2-bore rifle cartridges?

I don't have any of these, but I would be very pleased with myself if I am aware of any centerfire cartridges that are not in your collection. Nice collection.

H. C.

Thanks Henry!!

your missing a 375 ICL I've got plenty of extras if you want a empty or three?

Sorry DP, that I dont saw this one. I've been on a shooting event for some days.

Of course, I not only would be happy, but I'd be VERY EXITED if you could donate a couple of those for my collection.

I'll e-mail you my postal adress.

@460wby

What's about the 10.3x60R cartridge?
And another one called 7.5x55 Schmidt&Rubin !!!

Good shooting and good hunting

Collani

P.S.: I own both of them...

Now I'm a happy owner of a .450 Dakota too!!

Looks like a new wave of goodies is coming in. Today a friend sendt me a:

12,17x44R. Norwegian Remington.(Rimmfire)
.300 Whisper.

A 6,5x58R, 22 Short, and a 22 Extra long has taken place on my shelf.

460WBY, I have a 218 Mashburn Bee, and a 450 Alaskan somewhere around here if you are interested? I can probably find them if you want them. My parents-in-law live in Bergen and I will be seeing them at Christmas time and could possibly send the cart. back with them. They are loaded now. I can dummy them up if you would prefer or if it is the only way to get them through customs. I am painfully ignorant of these kinds of things.
Ken

Thank you, Ken.
I'm really looking forward to this.

I'll send you an E-mail, with my adress, and some details.

The only danger around here is if my wife has a bad day, and slams the door into my reloading room.

416 RUM (416/338 RUM) is listed. Very similar to 416 Dakota, but a shorter neck and of course; rebatted rim.
458 RUM. not very unlike the 460 G&A I think.
