I have been a lurker here for over a year, enjoying reading the threads. I started cartridge collecting when I was 8-9 years old, on my grandmothers mantle in an old antique glass bowl was misc. items, you know the type, everything that doesn't have a place goes there, most of us have a drawer for this kind of junk, but anyway in that bowl was a .357 magnum an Uncle of mine had left aside and it was never thought to give it to him when he was there and so one day my grandmother asked, do you want it. I still have it set aside outside of my collection in another small box with other important to me cartridges as well as recovered bullets and such. Over the years I added maybe 10-15 different calibers to my collection, several paper hulled shotgun shells without any serious intent of building a collection, then about 15 months ago I began in earnest to collect all calibers and as many headstamps as possible. We have a small forum for cartridge collecting over on Marlinowners and many cartridges came from members there as well as myself happening upon a smorgasboard for 25cents a round. Below is my current list, I am looking for any not on my list, including some of the larger rounds, but thats the real catch If you have any extras you could part with, shoot me a PM, as I wouldn't have half of my collection without donations
