There will be a cartridge collector show (ammo) on Saturday, Nov 7th @ 9:00am onward at the Manchester Firing Line, 2540 Brown Ave in Manchester, NH. Admission is free, and there are free tables available for those who contact me. This show will be for collectible vintage stuff, or anything...

I just wanted to let everyone in the ME, NH, MA, VT areas know that there will be an ammo show for cartridge collectors this Saturday the 18th at the Manchester Firing Line range from 9:00am to close. The location is 50 Gay St, Manchester, NH (their old range out back), and admission is free...

chimetech - Those metal piercing loads usually sell for less than $100 per box of $50, so like Al said - $2.00 per. Zundfolge - It's true, unless you live in CA, IL, TX, or Wash D.C., then you can load all the pistol AP you want, but it has to be a non-"commercial" thing, not for resale, or...

Thanks for the insight Shawn, I can shed some more light on the whole issue of the Magsafe Agent load and why some perform poorly, as in your case, and why a few performed adequately. I have heard from some collectors, as well as tested myself, and have found that some Agent loads had steel...

Oyeboten - most of the push towards "solid copper" projectiles these days is towards the aim of lead reduction and lowering lead contamination at ranges, etc... The types of copper bullets that they are usually referring to are frangible copper or copper/tin bullets which are sintered, and can't...

Doc2rn - I can think of easier ways to neuter a dog ;-) "Dognut cutter"... And you can still usually find a box of PMC Ultramag for sale on Gunbroker now and then, usually for less than $50.00. The 2nd version which was copper (the commonly released version) is perfectly legal. It was just...

Simunition LHRGunslinger - Yes that is 2 rds of Simunition in the bottom left. The pink & blue versions are relatively easy to find, but I have been hunting for small quantities of the green, yellow, orange, and white Simunition loads for years now with no luck.

Thanks Max. I wish I had the 9mm 7N31, and the SP10 9x21 that you show in your pics. I do not have those in my collection, and they are not often seen in the U.S. I do have one 7N21, but that's it.

Oyeboten - There are 2 French THV (Tres Haute Vittesse) cartridges in the photos, one is a .38spl in the multi-caliber box and is an original SFM load (not a South African, Iraqi, or otherwise copied version - there were a few), and the second is the 9mm from the 9mm oddball box. It might look...

.45acp SCMITR SDC - how you doing, I've emailed you back and forth a few times in years past about some sectioned cartridges you used to have, and pistol AP loads, etc... The .45acp load with the white sabot and steel dart is a "SCMITR" or Scimitar load which was a steel dart held in place by...

Rail Driver - You can get involved in collecting ammo at a site like the International Ammunition Association's site: http://www.cartridgecollectors.org They have a forum there and lots of info on cartridge shows. Cartridge shows are the best place to find ammo like this, or sometimes on...

I have a CZ52 (7.62x25) which I've thrown allot of work and money into, and it's probably my favorite gun right now. It has a threaded barrel from F.A.C. which is a 12x1 metric thread RH twist, which is of course totally unique and unheard of, except for the original clunker muzzle brake which...

I'm new to this forum, and I've recently joined a bunch of forums in my effort to reach out to anyone who is interested in what I am interested in: special-purpose gadgety pistol ammo. The weird stuff with odd tips; exploders, multiball, darts, cutters, slicer, dicers, expanders, plastics &...
