Well this is more of a cartridge board but you get the gist. Some REALLY oddball stuff I collected over the years, lower right look for the 22 EX Long centerfire!

Nice work. How'd u attach them.

I bet the radiation from that wifi box is helping the adhesive to keep 'em in place.

Started out with velcro BUT that was wayyyy too much like work. This was supposed to be fun right? About 6 bottles of crazy glue.

Gave me reason to chew on my fingers for about a week!

I WOULD have liked to do that but much of it is in cipher! Sure there are a hand full of easy to identify 30-0 whatever or 7.62 X whatever but many of these things are easily 100 plus years old. 45-90, Jeffries, 256 Newton ect and some I haven't a clue!

This is mostly just oddball tidbits I hoarded over the years. I had a bunch of dups and gave them away.

I made the following shadow box about a year ago. I think I have added about 4 additional calibers since I created this.

Dang, I never realized the case was that long on those. :thumbsup:

Nice!
I've been wanting to do something like this, maybe now I'm motivated.
I really like that 22 EX Long Centerfire. Never heard of that one.

Nor did I until I researched it hard sitting in my office before flushing. I have a old 1956 Gun Digest that actually mentions it in a couple paragraphs. I think it was used in converted Ballard rifles or something like that. :confused:

It really stuck out like a sore thumb with some of the buffalo cartridges!

I tired mounting a bullet board a few times but never got the right look. Instead I went with acrylic display risers (these were originally used to display some of my mineral collection, but I re-purposed them). This worked out pretty well as you can easily pick things up and take a look at them. Have it sitting in the far corner of my reloading area. As long as nobody bumps the counter hard, all is well. If someone slams into it, I have to play "52 pickup", but it doesn't happen often.

Bottom row are rimfires and center-fire pistol cartridges
Middle row are center-fire rifle cartridges and odd dogs and cats
Top row are pin-fire shotgun and center fired shotgun rounds

Nice but with dog wrestling and shaky hands they would be everywhere. If you want to immobilize for all time just a drop of Crazy Glue on the base.

Is that a PPU round or one you reloaded?
I never got that kind of crimp on the end from the ones I had made.

Are those darts in the picture for picking a load out of a load manual?

For the center fire, if the are inert, you can use a screw up through the primer hole.

NOT a good idea for live rounds.
