Cartridge Display?

November

New member
Does anyone know where I can get a hold of a poster or brochure that has a size comparison display of all (or most) modern cartridges? I'm talking the whole cartridge, not just the bullet. Marlin Firearms usually has a display like this in the back of their catalog for all the calibers that they chamber for. I'm looking for something just like this, but more complete. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I think your best bet, and the most readily available source is the current Speer Reloading Manual. It has full size drawings of most modern rifle and handgun cartridges as well as the standard dimensions. Or you can go to the source of those drawings and get Dr. Ken Howell's book "Custom Cartridges". "Cartridges of the World" by Frank Barnes is also a good source, but the dimensions are missing on the photos. And most, but not all, of the photos are full size.
