Finally got a list made up. Sorry it's not in order of caliber. It's just in order of tallest to shortest.

This thread had been dead since 2010, long before I joined CWT. I figured I must be the only one strange enough to have a collection of cartridges packed away in a dark corner of the closet. Recently HNDLDR resuscitated the thread. I had been working on an idea of how to put my collection on display in a manner where I did not have a 600 pin bowling alley. I have everything unpacked and pretty close to sorted. It currently looks like this. My style of collecting is based upon the chamber. For the most part these cartridges cannot be fired in the same weapon.

That's a sweet collect! So what types of chambers are you referring to? Is it firearm type? Sorry if I'm missing a simple idea. The top pictures look like large military stuff. What I don't understand is how you are segregating the lower ones that look like sporting type cartridges mixed with some military small arm type stuff.

I am referring to the firearm chamber. Once I have a round that fits a given chamber I generally do not want another one. As an example I have only one 7mm-08 Rem. I do not collect wildcats. I shoot a 7mm-08 Ackley but there is not one in my collection. The collection is initially split into sub groups like handgun, military rifle, experimental military, American sporting rifle etc. There are some exceptions to the one only rule. I have both a .244 Rem and 6mm Rem headstamp, same chamber. It is just an interesting story behind the two. A few rounds appear in multiple groups. There is a .30-06 in American sporting rifle and a .30-06 in military rifle along with a .30-03. Within each sub group the rounds are organized by numeric then alpha characteristics of their name

Ok, I'm following you now. I'm definitely more reckless in that I collect them all and put them all together. I do intentionally have multiple pieces for the same chambering, if I feel there's something interesting about the extra pieces I have. I even found an unintentional duplicate when I was making my list. I had one that was headstamped 32 WCF and one Headstamped 32-20. After some research I realized they were the same chambering.

As far as rounds for trading I have a lot of the basics plus ....... 454 Casull, 308 marlin express, 444 Marlin, 375 Win, and 300WSM that's been necked down to 257 cal, 257/300 WSM if you will. Basic being 380, 9mm, 40 S&W, 45ACP, 45 Colt, 223, 243, 25-06, 270, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem mag, 308, 30-06, 300 Ultra mag.

 

Don't know if anyone noticed but I added 308 marlin express to my cartridges to trade if anyone is interested.
