If you pick up a sierra chart(generally give them away at LGS) sizes are pretty close to actual ,this will allow you to see size difference but if you want to feel it well thats a different matter

bit of a long shot but would sombody be able to send me a tiny collection of projectiles ranging from .17 through to say the 30 cal range. i want to see the size difference in the projectiles so i would only require one of each cal.

i am just interested.

Ray,
Not really sure mate. 20 ea is no trouble. Just flick me whatever you think they are worth.
