Brass collecting
Does anyone on the forum collect unusual brass? I used to but lost most during my divorce and gave what I had left to my lad a few years ago. I was just reading about the .280 British and it set me thinking again.
Re: Brass collecting
We have a guy who is in the process of joining our club and getting his licence sorted out. He has a passion for WW1 & 2 so collects brass from that era as well as modern stuff. His collecection is quite comprehensive I believe.

Not sure when we will see him next but it would be a good project to put on here.

Re: Brass collecting
Looking good Jenks! I mostly seem to have buckets of 7,62X51 Berdan primed brass even though I posted a few kgs of the stuff out to someone earlier this year.
I did pick up a .50cal bullet in the butts the other day. The word 'Ooops' sprang to mind.

Re: Brass collecting
Bit of an oddity this and the poor pictures do not help. Case measures as 9x51 Headstamp is RG83 and it appears to have a smaller case let into it, peering down the end the inner case is around 30m long and is badly split, it could be as a result of being fired or because someone tried to push it out at some point. Does Anyone recognise it? I am guessing at a training round or maybe a latter day rifle grenade launcher.
