Ive being looking all over the web for the past hour and I cant seem to find this anywhere.

Basically, Im looking for a collection of rifle bullets that I can have for side by side comparison. Pretty much a bullet of all the different calibers.

BY the way, crappy legal laws in this country would mean that these bullets cant be live.

For what its worth, it would be nice for the collection to have:

17hmr, 22wmr, 22hornet, 220 swift, 223, 243, 270, 308, 30-06, 300 win mag, 338, 50bmg, 6.5x55 and maybe some ackley improved cartridges aswell.

Theres no need to be getting all pedantic just because I used the word bullet instead of cartridge/round/ammunition.

Danny, Ill have to admit I was a bit confused when I read your post. This is a site where the word bullet is not interchangeable with words like ammunition, cartridge, etc. What you are really wanting is a DUMMY ROUND for each of the different examples.

You're right.... there is never a need to be specific.

Say what you mean or mean what you say?

Maybe I'm missing something, but why can't you have loaded ammunition for display?? You do live on Colorado, correct?

I <span style="text-decoration: underline">think</span> he's asking people to ship/send him ammo of every sort so he can display it.

I guess I read it wrong..;-)

I'm pretty sure he's in Ireland. Co. Cork is County Cork which is the southern most part of the island.
 
Re: Bullet collection online..??

Don't know, but as a teenager I can remember Winchester or Remington have bullet displays that were put up in hardware and sporting goods stores that had just about all the known bullets attached to a framed panel. They were quite attractive. Went all the way from a .22 long rifle up to the .458 Win., or perhaps larger.

Wish I had one.

That was the nicer version of my considerations.

I read your post and thought you were looking for bullets.
Then I read the part about having live bullets and realized that if I didn't point out the mistake nicely that about 100 others were going to do so in a much more abrasive manner.

And yes, it matters. It may not matter on a thousand other sites, but it matters here plenty.
You're either supposed to already know better or be promptly taught better.

You're welcome.

Oh, and the Omega pic was on my final three.

Oh, and I like this one better.

Thank you Tucker. That one also fits well, and continues to be of use. In this thread.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: The Mechanic</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Is it one of the countries that does not allow "military" cartridges?

Interesting.
