That was great! Thanks Kurt and Rex! History of firearms is always very interesting. I actually knew a guy, when I was a child, that had a handful of those little 2.5mm calibre cartridges. He even had a couple of the revolvers.....about as small as my little finger! They had the trigger guard cut out to allow the user to place his/her finger on the trigger. Very cool stuff!
Thanks for sharing. It was a nice break and something I have never seen before. Looks like you have a good friend and you both are very talented at your hobbies. I very much enjoy your videos, you do a great job with them, thanks. Gordo
Rex my dad is like Kurt and got me hooked on cartridge collection. And it's true everyone has a story and more . Thanks for sharing a nother great video
Good collection good knowledge. Only thing is displaying them at club meetings I think trays with convoluted grooves would be good because I'm going to do this myself too.
ive sort of started a little collection of my own, its just empty brass that ive found over the past few years at the gun range or out in the bush... makes a nice cheap piece of wall art in the gun room :)
Any cartridge name that has "nitro" in it must be cool. Survival gun would have to be a .30-06, or if shotguns are included, a 12 gauge including interchangeable barrels, one with rifling to shoot the big game saboted rounds.
+TiborasaurusRex the guys at accurate reloading have one, they have a whole table of recoil observations ! www.accuratereloading.com/recoil.html they are reloading all of the big ones
Firstly great video!! Please do more. Secondarily though WTF is he thinkin when he said he'd use a 375 in "Today's" world, not the pre historic days lol!!?? I mean if for modern day survival there is very few places generally speaking that have lions, tigers, and cape buffalo where one would need such a behemoth of a round. I mean yea most places have bears or a type of cougar/mountain lion but for food getting much more likely you'll encounter rabbits, DEER, squirrels, maybe elk, pronghorn, mule deer are much more likely to be encountered. The weight of all that ammo he'd carry would be a joke. I'd choose a simple COMMON round like 5.56, 308, or 30-30
+Jared Bush I would actually make due with a Ruger 10/22 and all my pockets full of ammo, however - if I had a big white mustache like Kurt, I might pick the .375 H&H Mag... just 'cause it must be in the blood.
I'm assuming Kurt has some pretty interesting firearms, could do a video like this just discussing his favorites and what he likes about them. Hope your doing good Rex'
that seems crazy-- ammo is worthless and harmless without the gun-- many here though in US pull the bullet and take out primer shelling non firing cartridges that still have the look of real shells--
humm if i was droped off in earth what round would i take 7.62x39 cuz your more likely to have to kill a 2 legged creature than a 4 legged and the ak is reliable and has a 30 round mag
+dks13827 No, not proffessional. But I was told from a reloading friend of mine that the brass is rare but may be able to create by re sizing and necking down another cartridge.
That is the cartridge that inspired the .22-250 (I have a lightly used stainless Rem 700 on hold for me till the end of the month. Nothing like 4250+ fps).
Your Grandpa could buy reloading dies and brass, if available, then have a reloading friend load them for a very nominal fee. Better than zero ammo !!!!
my wife's uncle owned a 250-3000--- 25 caliber that shot at 3,000 feet per second is where the name came from- he was deadly with it on deer on up to black bear-- wish I had grabbed one of those shells back 40 years ago--
Russian paper pinfire casings were extremely weird it was wrapped up like a paper cartridge from the Civil War the hollow cavity in the back of the minie ball had a priming compound the pain would go clean through the casing the paper casing hit the priming compound in the base of the bullet and Fire the Russians later replaced this design with the Mauser bolt-action which is pretty much the same but use metallic taste cartridges instead of paper and the firing pin did not protrude as far
I could listen to him talk about guns and cartridges all day long and never get bored lol.
I love listening to the older folks about the things they enjoy. That's the best stuff ever
Fascinating gentleman you're lucky to call friend. Looks like he's finally mastered the comb as well! You're both great!
+20alphabet Bwah ha ha
More please. Thank you
kurt is always a joy to see in videos!

Thanks Rex. Love the channel!
Kurt is awesome, I am jealous that you know this man and can pick his brain! He seems pretty great.
Awesome video, very educational.
Very cool ! Thank You Rex.
Good collection good knowledge.
Only thing is displaying them at club meetings I think trays with convoluted grooves would be good because I'm going to do this myself too.
Very interesting, kurt has some good stories.
Neat stuff. Keep up the good work. Ben
Very interesting. Thank you.
Very cool...
Spotted the .17 rem excellent little varmint killer.
ive sort of started a little collection of my own, its just empty brass that ive found over the past few years at the gun range or out in the bush... makes a nice cheap piece of wall art in the gun room :)
fun vid man.
Good times right there for yea I bet. Nice.
holy moly, did he have a .224 boz? I'd love a Glock 20 chambered in that.
Any cartridge name that has "nitro" in it must be cool. Survival gun would have to be a .30-06, or if shotguns are included, a 12 gauge including interchangeable barrels, one with rifling to shoot the big game saboted rounds.
I wish Kurt was my grandpa!
You guys should go to some gun shows and talk with us fans !!! Maybe you do.
Anyone have a .577 Tyrannosaur??? PLEASE let me know - - - I need one!
+TiborasaurusRex Who hit the thumbs up button??? You gotta give me your contact so I can arrange shipment! Come on! Don't be such a tease!
+TiborasaurusRex the guys at accurate reloading have one, they have a whole table of recoil observations !

+TiborasaurusRex lol I sir must bow out and agree to that lol. He is a true man beyond his years with knowledge
I'm assuming Kurt has some pretty interesting firearms, could do a video like this just discussing his favorites and what he likes about them.
Hope your doing good Rex'
I would have to go with the 7.62x39mm in a AK-103. Simply because of the reliability and availability of the rifle and ammunition.
for deer mine is 270 for dinosaur 2 gauge and i be on the ship shooting it that a big ass bullet
Jurrasic park 3 had a 2cm x 128 and jurassic park 2 was likely a 450 nitro express
love to collect ammo but we need a second license for that here in holland
that seems crazy-- ammo is worthless and harmless without the gun-- many here though in US pull the bullet and take out primer shelling non firing cartridges that still have the look of real shells--
raoul pabon welke vergunning moet je hiervoor hebben?
How many cartridges do You have in your collection ? In holland
holy crap, I thought he was Donald Sutherlund for a minute
would like to get my hands of a 45 -- 110 sharps cartridge-- anyone got one for sale ?
humm if i was droped off in earth what round would i take 7.62x39 cuz your more likely to have to kill a 2 legged creature than a 4 legged and the ak is reliable and has a 30 round mag
I have a whole box (20) of 30-06 sabot rounds.
yep those were fast a 22 in a 30 06 bought a box myself and shot them up sadly--
Rex Ur the man
My grandpa is still looking for some Savage 250-3000 ammo. Apparently they are like unicorns. Lol
+jdmcommute Have you asked some professional reloaders ? AZ

Where in hells did you find a 71-50 winchester? I googled it and cannot find ANYTHING on this cartridge!
+Evil Executioner Not a 71-50... A 70-150.
Point, DAMN that is a huge cartridge! What was it intended for, and what gun fired it?
Do You have a 17 rem mag?
