While browsing through ebay I came upon a glass display that looked like it would take the different caliber recovered bullets I`ve collected over the years and rather have them in plastic baggies in a box on my gun safe I figured I could show them to those interested... Anyway, the bullets fit and here`s how it looks.

I WISH I HAD KEPT BETTER RECORDS (ACTUALLY JUST SOME RECORDS) AND MORE BULLETS. NEAT JAMES.

That's actually a really neat idea, James!

That's neat! I wish I had saved mine. I used to dig them out and show them to friends and end up laying them somewhere and never seeing them again. I do still have last years two .44 caliber gold dots that I killed a buck and a doe with. I guess that's a start! Great idea James!

Really neat idea and I bet each bullet has a great story to tell. Like some of the others posted , I wish I would have kept more of mine.

I have only one recovered bullet, and it was a .54 Round Ball I killed a 10 point with several years ago.
The display looks great.

Really neat idea and I bet each bullet has a great story to tell.. Mike, I numbered the base of each bullet and know where they were used... Its another way to remember and enjoy past handgun hunts...
