    Picked up a lil older powder and some odds and ends. See the pix.

    Went to an auction and to my surprise reloading stuff. The kinda thing you dream about.
    105lb powder 156 boxes of speer bullets 50 boxes Hornady 150gr 25boxes game king. 8500rnds 22 rounds, 10,000 lead bullets, rock chucker, scale, powder meauser, case trimmer 100 boxes of 44&38&45acp reloads 500 mil surp 30/06 25,000 primers 1000 30 carb bullets 5 cases 12ga target loads, 5,000 burdan primers, 8 die sets tons of other stuff.
    None of this was advertised In the auction listing got it all for $1000.00.
    I have sold all I'm willing to part with some of the fellas here got the deal of a lifetime. I made a few bucks and had a lot of fun. Never would you think someone has this much in one place.
    Have a bunch o pix but had trouble up loading.

    If you decide to trade or sell some of the 44 Speer shotshell capsules I'd love to have a crack at them.
    Btw, congrats.

    Great score Dads!!!! I've never had that kind of success, ever. Before I retired the guys I worked with all used to joke about the "Big Yard Sale at Bob's House". I used to kid them and tell them it was by invite only and none of them were invited. I'd see a lot of red faces and hair that stood right up!

    Good score btw. I'm glad my buddy got some stuff from you. He got the 2400 and a bunch of assorted brass and stuff. Can't wait to meet up with him, as we split the powder.

    WOW! You paid under $10 per pound for the powder and got everything else for free.

    I hope whoever was loading all that had something faster than a Rock Chucker to load on.

    What kind of Mil surp .30-06?

    Yep that was the holy grail of reloading scores.
    It was several lots totaling a lol over $1000.00 The powder I paid $125.00. I'm still in disbelief and only a few friends get the magnitude of a score like this most are here on cast boolets.
    Keep your eye on swapping and selling will be passing on a few more items.

    Lol yes Jason is a great guy. Can't wait to try some of that 2400. Hope the 10 mm will shoot that 2400.
    Big thank you on that powder. If I had more cash I would have asked Jason to get everything lol.
    Dont know if he told you? But I acquired a few new pistols, reason for being so broke at the moment.
    There was this off roster ruger standard, then a 686-3 popped up and well a g20sf found its way home too.
