    ...8" Naval HE projectile. (yes, it's empty, and heavy)

    ...12 ga. "Dragon's Breath". Same as Blckhrn's flamethrower rounds.

    ...12 ga. handloads with 1 1/4 oz of #12 shot. On a flock of starlings, it rains birds.

    I could be wrong, but what I suspect you have is the 8x56R in the middle.

    I found some 25 Stevens once. I wasn't exactly sure what it was. I've still got a few rounds somewhere.

    I am still looking for eight more of these to fill the box.

    edit... just in case some of you do not recogize them, they are Winchester (W.R.A.Co.) 50-95 W.C.F. shotshell cartridges manufactured circa 1890. They were made specifically for the Model 1885 Single Shot rifle, and are worth about $50 per cartridge[:0].

    For some reason, (increadibly cheap price I guess) I have stocked up on 8MM Mauser milsurp corrosive ammo. Even bought a Remington model 700 to shoot it in.

    Man, am I a sucker for a perceived bargain.

    Hey, don't tempt me by offering me a bargain. I mean, I do have.......some...will power when buying guns and ammo.

    We are a bunch of freaks aren't we!


    I just got some 32 rimfire for the old derringer...the box is super old also. I think I remember it has 1920 on it.

    Yup. I've got a box of 25ACP on hand.
    I love what Jeff Cooper said about it, so I can't imagine owning a gun in that caliber.
    I got the box from a friend. I'll probably keep it until I can trade it for something.

    22 LR Shotshell

    Comes in handy for shooting mice during the winter when they manage to come inside due to global warming.

    44 Henry just in case the South rises again.

    The two most unusual rounds I have on hand are some 12 gauge shotshells with paper hulls with a J.C. Higgins headstamp and some Russian 3"zinc plated steel case .410 slugs.

    I do have some Herters .401 Power Mag cases that were mixed in with some .41 mag stuff I bought at the gun show.

    Didn't think so-no one mentioned it tho'

    Very hard to find locally. I usually buy all on hand when I find it.

    About sixty rounds of 45/70 shot cartridges. They have a wooden sabot on the end. I opened one up a long time ago & the shot had turned to powder.

    Two boxes of 30/40 Krag that are headstamped .30 Government.
