I was wondering if There is much interest in cartridge collecting any more ? I was thinking about selling a few calibers which are pretty hard to find but wanted to see if it's worth the effort.I.use to do it growing.up kinda like baseball card collecting for shooters !

Not sure. I've never been a collector of cartridges, but have some odd ones from different guns I've owned, like 350 G&H Magnum, 375 Hoffman, 22 Lovell, etc.

Yes I think there is a lot of interest in ammo Collecting. I have been doing it for about 30 years now. I know many people who collect ammo also. You just need to get your items exposed to the right people. I have 2 friends who have businesses that sell collectible ammo on line. What do you have to sell as I am always interested in buying cartridges.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Last month at a Washing Arms Collector show I saw a guy with a few hundred Kurz 7.92X33, based on LC 56 brass. I gave him $1 for one for my collection I don't know how much he wanted for the lot. If you're interested I can try to look him up again but not until the September show.

Collecting cartridges is just like collecting everything else.There has to be a common value base.Case in point;I sold a 63 Cadillac convertible in pink (just like HUD),It took a while. Even when I was still building rifles in the 80's I always was enamoured by the abstract calibres,thus no raid on the doors from the unwashed masses.The end result is the same for all of this.Sell something that someone else wants;your designs are not of the general publics opinion.


Never mistake motion for action.

There is always a value to what is no longer
being made-and relative value. Old ammunition has serious historical value-to someone.

Anyone interested in original Winchester 348 WCF
"Standing Bear" boxes of 250 gr Silvertips from the late 1950s -early 1960s? These are rare and the last boxes I had went for about the same as original
405 WCF full ammunition boxes by W-W in the red-gold
pattern of the late 1940s.

I just agreed to sell my 1907 vintage Jeffery 404 and the buyer plans on using it and isn't interested in the original Kynoch ammo that I got with it.
There are five boxes of five rounds that I was told were likely 1950's vintage and one factory wrapped box of ten 5round boxes.

Any suggestions on where to post these ?
