I put together these for display at my club.  Most of our members have never seen anything other than 12 gauge and certainly don't know what is in the hull.  The brass is .303 British.  The forms would have come from the old CAC factory prior to it closing up.

Jeff can you tell me how you fasten the brass cases?  I'm working on a shadow box to display  the various draws of the 50 cal case. Mine is dated 43. I really didn't want something that would corrode the brass. I was also concern about whether the cloth had acid in the dye. Thanks

Epoxy.  For the brass I drilled a hole in each piece such that the epoxy flowed inside to make a rivet head.

Thanks Jeff, my samples are 80 years old and I don't want to deface them.
