Can someone suggest a web site that lists the various sizes of ammunition preferably with pictures/drawing so I can see th differences. I tried googleing various words but nothing came up.
 
Are you looking for something like this? It came from the Speer website. Check some of the ammo makers' websites.

Thats exactly what I am looking for, it would also be good to have the rifle sizes as well. I will go to some of the manufactures sites to see what I can find.
 
Go to Hornandy's website

They will send you a chart (poster size) that shows all of the populal rifle and pistol cartridges from .17 HR all the way up to 50 BMG. On one side it shows what the whole cartridge looks like and on the other it shows just the bullets that they make in that Cal. It is really nice because everything is in 1:1 scale AKA real size.

Hope that helps.
 
hornady poster

Thanks for the tip about the Hornady poster. I couldn't find it on their website. However if you google "hornady poster" you can see a pdf file copy of the poster online. It's pretty tiny. I found a phone number on their website and called. The lady had to leave the phone and see if they still had any posters. Apparently it's a once/year production. They had some and she is having one shipped to me for free.
 
cool

Good to know. You will really like it. its very helpful because all cartridges are shown in full, real life size.
 
AmmoGuide "computer graphics" examples...

(BTW, this graphic is old - AmmoGuide now has over 500 loads for the .308 Win and over 10,000 loads in all.)

The "Visual Comparison Tool"...

When visually comparing a set of rounds, one can then easliy ballistically compare the same set with a single click (and vice-versa). For example, to ballistically compare the above 8 rounds, click here:
http://ammoguide.com/?tool=bcompare&it=414|127|128|137|132|95|97|18

And of course, the advantage AmmoGuide provides is that one creates the charts they wish anytime (especially with AmmoGuide's "print friendly" modes) - one doesn't have to ask and wait around for info produced by other companies for only THEIR products. AmmoGuide is vendor-independant.
