Thread: Collecting Ammo

Hey All,

I'm looking to start an ammo collection, and I'm after some tips on how to go about it please.

No intention of firing any rounds, I just get a buzz out of collecting, organising and cataloguing. Also, I have a great appreciation of the amount of precision engineering that goes into their creation.

I have no idea of the legal ins-and-outs of buying/selling and posting individual rounds, or even if anyone would be prepared to do so?
Thought I might start in rifle land; I only have an A Cat licence, so I don't know if it's even legal for me to collect pistol rounds?

So-far, I have;
Hornady .243 ballistic tip
PMC .308 WIN soft point
HXP .50 FMJ





Oh, here's a cool link for headstamp ID;
Headstamp Codes - International Ammunition Association


TIA,

Dave
