    i have to show someone

    who will understand. My wife bless her heart isn't that interested, and my family is down right anti gun. So you guys have be excited with me. My favorite gun store had a garage sale, for the stores 41st year in business they put some guns on sale and took all the "stuff" out of the storage and put it under a tent in the front parking lot. Best garage sale ever!


    Nothing was priced you could wheel and deal and all the stuff was priced to go. I got a personal phone call from the store about the sale so i showed up the second day and picked up a big box (353 after sorting) of bullets, a new box of .224 55 gr SP, a old can of red dot, and then the cool stuff.




    i spent in total 74$

    Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”; and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.



    I am out of town, enjoy your holidays.

    Man I wish I could find deals like that!
    There's no way that could ever happen around here- except maybe at pawn shops.
    Really happy for you!

    Good deal

    The press or the lubri-sizer would cost you more than $74..retail on the whole haul would be over $250. AND it's all items that you could re-sell and turn a profit on...but who sells reloading stuff...I keep accumulating more.

    You did well on this

    i do know that someone found still in box 5k winchester 55gr surplus bullets for 100$ I would have loved that but i had to sit on the sizer while my sister drove up her debit card from the house, after i promised to give her the 40 + 5$ next friday for interest.

    And my dad found the press asked the guy how much it was then paid for it saying i could pay him back. Most people were out for bullets, powders, primers, ect. only a few guys showed up looking for reloading set ups.

    The two kids (about my age 25) that showed up looking for set ups left with pretty good set ups for 50$ (press, scale, dies, ect). I wish i'd had more money but i'm very happy with what i got.
