Re: How do you keep track of your collection??
Keep track? That's gonna be tough, until I do a thorough inventory, catalog it in the computer, build a new display case (or two......or three), and then figure out how and where to display it.
Aside from that, it'll be a snap!

Re: How do you keep track of your collection??
My collection info will be in the "Cartridges of the World" book, I am gonna place those yellow sticky note papers on each caliber I have and keep track of the different headstamps, and that way I can haul my info around with me. Just a thought.

I keep all the info in my brain
and the little box I keep my shells in. I was keeping them in a jelly jar, but their were to many of them stuffed in there and they started getting dents in them from the rims of other shells.
The world is much better with a pair of calipers.

Re: How do you keep track of your collection??
I think it's traditional to put small collectibles in an old cigar box. I don't have any, but something about the same size is the box from the Lee Powder measures. I have about a dozen, all full of brass, loaded rounds, and collectable duplicates, scattered all over. I can find anything I need in a matter of weeks, given a train of though that doesn't derail, a clean pair of reading glasses, and a good flashlight!

It's easy, just send them off to PapaJohn. Let him keep track of them.

Remember that scene at the end of the first Indiana Jones movie, of the government warehouse, where they took the Ark? That's what my living room is starting to look like....thanks to Mr. Bledsoe, and a few others!

Re: How do you keep track of your collection??
I am a worthless note taker, so a couple years ago I started entering all my loading and shooting data into an Excel Spreadsheet as soon as I get home from the shooting range. So I simply added a work book to that same spreadsheet for my ammo collection. Not a very “sexy” way to track them to be sure…… but since I don’t have the brain power, or at least the spare mental capacity to keep it all in my head, it will have to do for now!

Re: How do you keep track of your collection??
I have all my cartridge collection in a 1929 Snap-On wooden tool box I inherited from my fahter-in-law. I hope to get it on a display shelf this summer.
I really don't know what I ALL have. I just know some of what I DON"T have.
