I would like to start collecting
« on: January 28, 2008, 07:40:31 AM »
Hey everyone,
I would like to start a collection of centerfire rifle cartridges.  I am not after a particular brand of ammo, my goal to just get one brass casing of each different caliber.  I would like to then label and frame them and hang it in "the Man Room".  So if any of you can help that would be great. I am fairly limited in what I have now.  I just have casings from my guns.  22-250, 30-06, 30-30, 45-70 so anything would be helpful.  If you feel out of the goodness of your heart that you would like to donate one casing to me.  I will allow it:)  Thanks for your help everyone.

Take some of your rifles to the range and practice with some rounds.  Talk to others there and ask for some brass that you don't have.  Many would give you a shell or 2 and would give you others they have not there at the time.

All I have out of that list are the 30-06 and the 45-70.  Is it possible to get all the others or is that to ambitious?  Feel free to send me a private message and we can discuss more. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
