Hi. Farmboy91
I only collect shotgun cartridges of whatever legal type I can own with a SGC, most of the collection I have has been accumulated over the last fifty years, most of them have been given to me by friends and family and a local gunsmith has given me quite a few interesting ones, I cannot remember ever buying one specifically to add to my collection, although I have added a cartridge from a box I have purchased if I didn’t remember having one of that sort.
Although I also shoot muzzle loading pistols, and target rifles and I reload my own ammunition, I do not collect rifle or pistol ammunition or have any interest of doing so in the future.
There is no comparison between the selection of these cartridges’ shotgun cartridges are colourful and the huge range of gunmakers, hardware shops, agricultural merchants and engineers who had their names and location printed on the cartridge cases and boxes is almost infinite, the majority of rifle and pistol are pretty much the same being made if brass, just size and head stamps being different and are in the main rimfire and centrefire.
