Ammo Collecting (Updated 12/30/13)

[snorky]

I'm getting into ammo collecting, and this is what I've been able to scrounge from around my house and the range.

I'm looking for suggestions on where to go next, and I'd be willing to pay for individual live rounds, but donations are always greatly appreciated.

My current collection consists of:
.22 LR shot
.22 WMR
.25 ACP
.38 S&W
9mm Luger
.44 Mag
5.56x45 NATO M855 (looking for other 5.56 loads as well)
.30-30
.270 Win
.410
20 Ga
12 Ga



Easy ones I'm looking to add:
.380 ACP
9x18 Makarov
.357 Mag
.40 S&W
10mm Auto
.45 ACP
.30 Carbine
5.45x39
7.62x39
.308 Win AND 7.62x51 NATO
7.62x54R

I too am collecting...but do so by the case I'd help but not don't know about sending ammo in an envelope. Good luck

Gun shows are a great way to find interesting ammo. Also online auction sites such as gunbroker.com often have individual rounds for sale. I had a really good collection of several hundred rounds that I gave my son just a while back. It's great fun and a very good way to learn about firearms through history.

For any other collectors, I came across ammo-one.com and they have A TON of different cartridges.

Should be getting these in the next week or so.

5.7x33 Johnson Spitfire
4.6mm x 36mm
6.5 Grendel
.308 Win Accelerator
.300 Blackout
9mm Jap. Rev.
.338 Spectre
.416 Barrett

The johnson spitfire is an interesting cartridge -- the 30 carbine necked to 22cal --
Johnson sold M1 carbines converted to 5.7 johnson for a few years in the late 60's -- It did not really catch on, not too much better than the hornet and not as good as the 222rem - and the M1 carbine platform is not really a varmit rifle.

I'd be happy to send you a .44 special, if you'd like.
