When I was in Raton for almost 3 weeks this summer, I made a couple of trips to the Shotgun Center on campus. Sitting, almost abandoned, in the entry way with almost no information available was this rather remarkable collection of shotshells. Although I am not a collector or even an accumulator, it was interesting to browse through them. I did a little counting and estimating, I think there a little over 18,000 shells in this collection.

In any event, it might be something you want to check out if you find yourself at the Whittington Center on a rainy day.

Being a cartridge collector I could spend a lot of time looking through that lot. There must be some to fill in gaps in my collection. Lagopus.....

Jimmy, the Whittington Center is a huge (40-50k acres) NRA Shooting facility near Raton, New Mexico (NE corner, just below the Colorado border). I spend 2-3 weeks there, every year, shooting matches and plinking on the side.

If you haven't been there, and you like to shoot, this needs to be up near the very top of your bucket list.
