[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2162244, member: 11101"] I have different colored boxes for the different calibers. I have a few of the same caliber, but multiple rifles for that caliber. For instance, I use Wby brass for one .257 Wby, Norma headstamped brass for the other. I have two 308's now, I use Lapua brass, I will use fingernail polish or a paint pen to color the headstamp lettering differently for each rifle. A few years ago I had purchased a side by side shotgun at an auction. OLD shotgun estimated age is 1870's, was sold as a percussion shotgun. Since the maker had the last name as me, I wanted it no matter what. Got it home, found out that it was a cartridge gun, NOT a percussion gun. Exposed hammers, the firing pins protruding looked like nipples for caps. Supposed to have been a 20 ga. Well, 20ga hulls slid down the barrel an inch or so. Turned out to be 16 ga. Still haven't fired it, need to restore it first. Has Damascus barrels too. [/QUOTE]
