Default Cartridge Display Cabinet

Here is a small wood working project I completed with my 16 year old son which show cases 60 of the relatively common cartridges I have fired and mostly loaded for over the years. A couple of you out there were generous enough to send me a dummy for this project and I thank you for that.

Can you identify them all?

Yours in good hunt'n,

CH

That looks.great. thank to some fine folks I have a multitude of empty cartridges that I gave to my son a few years back. I have been looking for one of these. MTM has them, but they don't look as good as this as they are just plastic.

Great job on completing it with your son, thy makes it that much more special.

By and large, my favorite cartridges are the middle row: The 7's, 270's and the 6.5's
