Awesome collection dlbleak!

an 8 gauge slug used mainly to knock the soot deposits out of the top of smokestacks at factories
a 9mm shot shell
and a 56-50 spencer from civil war era. had the confederate army received the spencer repeating rifle sooner, the outcome may have been different...

i love the history behind why a certain cartridge was devoloped

Nice! I'll have to get more of mine out but it'll be tomorrow night before I can post pics. I think I spy one of the old M94 type round nose Swede rounds in one of those pics.

don, is that box of 375 weatherby full? if so, its worth a bunch.

No, I wish. It's got nine rounds in it. That was GIVEN to me by a fellow in the Pacific Northwest, mainly for the brass, when he found out I had one (and, he doesn't own one anymore). I tried to buy it from him, but he absolutely would not let me pay him.

And, that's quite some collection you've got there!!!

We still use 8 gauge slugs to trim coating in cement kilns. Order them by the case. I have a partial box of Fiocchi 9mm shotshells and the Winchester they are shot in. It is a rim fire. I'll try to get some pics.

I've got two shadow boxes full of old ammo like this. Guess I need to get some pic's done.
