Welcome to
Cartridge-corner.com
This site is dedicated to cartridge and shotshell collectors who appreciate the historical and technical aspects of the hobby, as well as to law enforcement professionals seeking forensic knowledge to support their work. Since its creation in 1996, the goal has been to help fill the gap in readily available, reliable information on ammunition and cartridge identification.
This site is not intended to provide firearm-related content, nor does it focus on reloading, packaging, or selling cartridges. Instead, it serves as a resource hub where collectors and researchers can access valuable information and tools.
The primary purpose of this site is to assist with ammunition and cartridge identification, including headstamp identification and general knowledge. Resources are organized into sections covering centerfire, rimfire, pinfire, and shotshell cartridges.
Some content—particularly on headstamp and caliber identification—is presented from earlier versions of the site and remains basic. These sections are no longer updated, as more detailed and comprehensive information is available in my published guide, offered in three digital formats. This guide provides in-depth coverage of both centerfire and rimfire headstamps, as well as cartridge caliber identification, and is a valuable resource for serious collectors.
Despite this, the site still offers significant value, especially in the area of shotshell headstamps, where information is often scarce online. As always, the site continues to evolve and expand.
For those interested in the hobby, I also highly recommend joining the International Ammunition Association (IAA), an excellent organization for collectors and researchers alike.
