Awesome casting/reloading score!

[NewGuy]

I should be locked up for my recent score. For $275 I got:

10 lbs. IMR 4831 in sealed metal cans
+/- 7 lbs of Bullseye in a 15 lb yellow metal powder can
+/- 5,000 pistol primers

CH single stage press
Lyman 450 press
Lyman ST 6-hole turret press
Herters Super Model 234 6-hole turret

+/- 1000 bullets cast and jacketed

Lots of misc shooting gear

and 15 molds:

9 Ideal single cavities

358439 w/ hollow point ???
311413
311466
360302 ???
245496
358156T
311359
308329 ???
+/- 3/8" round ball

RCBS 2 cav 44-240 SWC
RCBS 2 cav 7mm-145-SiL

Lee 1 cav 90360 ???
Lee 6 cav .45

Hensley & Gibbs #50
Hensley & Gibbs #55


I did some research, but I can't find info on all of the molds. Can anyone chime in on the molds w/ question marks behind them?

Also, can the H&G #55 be used for for 9mm? The H&G list I found said its for 38 Super.

Thanks in advance.

Just kidding of course, Great Score!

Good deal. I would say "Why doesn't that ever happen to me" but it has.

Some years ago I went to look at a bunch of reloading gear a widow had to sell. I took $200 cash with me, and told myself that was all I could spend, no matter what. As I went through box after box, can after can, I knew there was far more value there than I could afford, and told her so.

I asked, just out of curiosity, how much she wanted, and she said $200. She was glad to get rid of it, and I got a great deal. I kept some of it and sold the rest for a lot more than I paid.

I told my wife that she'll probably be selling my stuff cheap some day. She didn't think that was funny.

The Lyman 450 is a lubersizer, not a press. The 360302 is more commonly marked 358302, a 112 gr Himmelwright style wadcutter. The 308329 would be a 311329, a 185 gr SP GC design.

Ya did real good.

[Guesser]

I have a 360302, it is a fantastic bullet in my S&W Regulation Police. I size it .360 and it is extremely easy for even me to shoot accurately.

[timkelley]

Good for you. Never seems to happen to me so I am very envious.

The 358439 is the factory hollow point version of the 358429.

The Lee 90360 should be the 285-135 mold Lee makes for 7mm.

Double what NoZombies said, and precede it by "effing"....

You should be locked up... You stole that!!!

Sweet find.... very sweet,.... You aren't a diabetic are you? LOL

And I thought 140 was good for about 10 lbs of AA2230.....

What a pirate!

[NewGuy]

AARRR, I be a pirate.

Thanks for the replies and information. Funny thing is, that the guy I bought the stuff from is a reloader himself. He got the stuff from his father-in-law and apparently had no appreciation for the older equipment.

This is kind of the last piece of the puzzle for me. I haven't cast or reloaded anything yet, although I have been able to scrounge ~3,000 lbs of various types of lead over the last several years.

Now all I need is a 30 hour day so I can find time to play.

Isn't it great to get a sweetheart deal once in awhile?! -- You just won the reloading lottery. Even if you keep a few items you want, you could still sell the rest and double...triple your money. NICE!!!!

Knock Knock

The H&G #55 is notorious for being a piece of junk and a violation of the of the Governments Department of Bad Molds and Lead Wheel Weights and should be sent to an agent of the DBMLWW. It just so happens that I'm an agent of the DBMLWW. You can send the offending mold to me and any lead wheel weights that you chance upon in the future. Sorry no zinc or steel. PM to follow with shipping info. Thank you in advance for your patriotic duty and saving the enviornment. If you don't get an immediate response to your PM it's because I'm in South America or Hawaii saving them from the ravages of bad molds and lead wheel weights on their golf courses. Thank You

i think you got took.
you now need to buy at least two 7mm rifles and at least 3 more 30 cal rifles.
plus some j-words for the powder.
now you also need at least one black powder gun and most likely 2-3 more handguns just to find out if any of them molds are any good.
so your little investment should total up to about 6k before it's all said and done.
best you just go head and pass that on to some other unsuspecting guy.
