    OK, I think I'm going to start a new hobby that was started by a co-worker of mine. One day he comes to me asking me where he can dispose of old ammo. Thinking that it's just old but usable, I said bring it to me and I'll dispose of it in one of my guns!

    Well, 99% of it is OLD and actually rare in some cases. I have google most of it and and I think I found a new hobby to collect all kinds of ammo old to new!

    So if anyone has any laying around that they don't want or don't have a clue what to do with, I'll gladly meet up etc...

    He had some very old paper hull shotgun shells that go great with a turkey mount I have. SOm older 30-40 Krag rounds. A lot of very old USG rounds and blank training rounds made and used around the turn of the 19th century. Some of these rounds, I had never even heard of and were made for only a few years etc...

    So got me thinking. What's the best way to get into ammo collecting. Picture of the paper shotgun shells on my turkey mount.

    These are some old ammo I just picked up. Still researching a lot of them. But one that really interests me and I can't find anything are these short rim fire rounds. About the size of a .32 or something. But not center fire primers. They are rim fire! Thinking they are a derringer round????

    .38 WCF which confused me since it's a .40 caliber and not a .38.

    Then a 32-20 which has crazy history too!

    I'll have to check my ammo. I'm building a display of ammo for the guns I have. Had some un-needed ammo donated with the needed ammo, so I've got some un-needed ammo examples.

    I'm in-need of a 8x57J and an 8x50R Austrian Mannlicher though.
