I've been collecting brass for awhile now with the intent of putting together a cartridge display board. Mostly just dummying up a case with either the correct bullet or one close enough that a Dremmel tool can make them fit. I already have a nice red oak display board ready to mount the cartridges when I have enough.
My goal has been to have 100 pieces of brass, each a different caliber. I'm up to 84. So - if there's anyone else out there who collects brass for something like this and would be willing to trade a bit, I have duplicates of many calibers of cases I'd be willing to trade. Let me know what you may need.
Or, if some kind soul would be willing to donate a single piece of brass I'm needing , it would be greatly appreciated.
Just the sort of thing where one or two cases could be wrapped in some tissue and mailed in an envelope. I'll make a list below of calibers I don't yet have. I know that many of them no one is likely to have, but you never know (someone on a different gun forum sent me a Win 50-110). I don't care if the case is split or even dented on one side, as once on the display board the defect can be hidden.
In advance I thank anyone who helps me out, whether it's a trade or just a donated piece of brass.
