Post a pic of any unique  ammo case's you may have laying around. 

R - L  .223  -  50 cal BMG  -  30mm chain gun round . the 223 and 50 are for size reference .

 

 

I've got a 4" 50 caliber shell casing from a deck gun; I brought it up from a dive on a WWII shipwreck.   I left the warhead on the bottom, but still have some of the powder.   Even after 60 plus years submerged in salt water, it still burns really well.

Ive had 20 & 30 mm autocannon brass, 105mm artillery brass,  and 120mm mortar "tails" but finally got rid of them.   They just got in the way.

A few interesting ones;

Those would be cool chess pieces 

As best I can tell, the big one is a US 75mm High Explosive round from world war 2. Yes, it is DEMILLED (no explosive/no propellant)! The round included for comparison is a 7.62x54 Russian rifle round.

Holy crap! That thing is HUGE!  Does it have a room of it's own?

Lol, no, it's in a closet right now. One of these days I will make a wooden rack to hold it standing for display.

Now that's a novel idea for a Christmas gift. I wonder if anyone makes a chess set with spent brass.
