Ethan Allen
Cartridges & Cartridge boxes
Introduction
Cartridges and Cartridge boxes
Ethan Allen has produced a wide variety of cartridges. The majority of the calibers and sizes could be used in Allen’s own guns, but he has also produced other calibers like the 12mm pinfire, the 54 Ballard or 56/52 Spencer.
Below you will find an overview of the cartridges and where available an image of the original packaging.
If you have a cartridge box in your possession that isn’t displayed below, or if you have a better-quality picture, then I would be grateful if you would like to share it. You can contact me through the contact form.
Rimfire cartridges
Note: an * below the cartridge means that the image of the cartridge is of the correct size/caliber but from another manufacturer. Meaning that there could be a slight difference in the shape of the bullet compared to the original Allen cartridge
