Title: Just curious.....Am I the only one?
Post by: Nvreloader on September 28, 2018, 12:52:46 AM
Guys

How many of you have a pellet collections,
of all the various pellets designs/types, regardless of size?

I have a CF/RF cartridge collection I started in the early 60's,
kinda fun to look at..........and discuss with the unknowing.

Tia,
Don

I dont have a pellet one but I have a PB cartridge one that I built for my dad when he was in the oldfolks home. It was all mounted on a board. All sorts of people donated cartridges for it. (It was fun) A pellet one could be fun to make. I just dont have access to any variety.

Collection ... NO
But MANY differing types in all the typical calibers of .177 .20 .22 .25 .... yes to the tune of 40,000 +

Two things made my PB one hard, one was finding the shells.   I was not going to buy a box of like 458 Winchester magnums to have one for display. Then there was keeping them cataloged and directory written so folks could tell what they are looking at without picking up the display. I would think these would be the same two issues you face doing this with pellets. With the pellets keeping them organised would be hard. If you mix them up you just cant turn them over to see what it is.

Every tin in that photograph is different.... When I took that photo I didn't have anything larger than .25 cal, and no bullets....  ::)

I'm not a pellet collector, but I have partial tins of pellets that date back to the '70's or maybe the '60's.

This is something that really surprises me about airgun forums. I figured FOR SURE that there would be at least a dozen or two people that were serious collectors of pellets; but I haven't run across any....not the first one.

It seems like it would be an obvious thing to collect.
