    40+ Old Cartridges in a Cool Collection

    This ammo was found in an old wooden box which belonged to a late police officer, competitive shooter, and reloader. I figured I would find a number of odd rounds, but I had no idea the range would be so wide. There are roughly 42 different cartridges represented here, ranging from 218 Bee to 50 BMG! Not all of them are completely obsolete; I’m guessing this was the box where he tossed any oddities that he came across… along with a smattering of such commonplace rounds as 38 Special and 45 ACP.

    Cool! When my family's sporting goods store closed in the 70s (after 90 years) we dumped a ton (literally) of obsolete ammo into the ocean. I had no say in the matter
