Hello,
I have started a bullet collection and I am attempting to get many calibers.
If anyone is interested in helping out I would really appreciate it!The best way would be to mail seated bullets without primers or powder.
Some of the Calibers I need are:
480 Ruger, 458 Socom, 45 GAP, 357 Sig, 40 S&W, 204 Ruger, 357 Maximum, 475 Wildey Magnum,
38 Super, 44 S&W Special, 500 S&W Special, 6.8 SPC, 5.45x39, 45 Colt, 10mm Magnum, 220 Swift, 460 S&W, 17 Remington etc.
Thanks!
- 400 Grayne

Just hang out by a range or ask the range officer if you can poke through the brass after the range closes. If a round doesn't fire many just toss it and continue so you'll find lots of stuff if you look. Many of those calibers you're requesting are common. | |

Cartridge collection, correct. I'd like to have bullets to though. If anyone is interested in helping let me know. | |

Colt, everything else is stamp collecting! - cane

After 45 plus years as a cartridge collecter I can tell you that a cartridge without primer or powder is no cartridge. The best advise I can give you is to try to encounter a collecter close to home and ask to rummage through his extra's. I have helped many get started over the years. Like most collecters we have plenty of extras. | |

Do you have any extra I could buy off of you?  | |

400- send me a private message with a physical address for you, and what you are looking for. Shipping live ammo can get pricey (it has to go by UPS or FedEx GROUND) so will put a packet together. Most of my spares are older stuff- new stuff you can pick up from the range. I may have some extras that you can add to your collection. I will not sell them to you- but next Christmas, toss a few bucks in the Salvation Army kettle, and we'll be even.
And I still have to get a shipment sent to Highpower for the VERY generous gift he made to me- I am just gonna plead excessive travel and laziness on my part. __________________

As c3shooter said, the freight charges are terrible. Here in the mountains the minimum is $14 for a small package. I do have quite a few extras of many different calibers. Most of my intrest is older rifle cartridges. If their is any particular older cartridges you are lacking I will look though my extras to see if I have any. | |
