A neighbor passed away, and I was asked to help with selling some of his reloading equipment and parts. There are two bags of these boolits [about 200 pcs.].
The diameter is .355" overall length is about .605", look to have been sized.
I also need to sell about 250 rounds of hand loaded 45 ACP, [ boxes are marked CCI primed, speer 230gr bullet, 4.9 gr bullseye, July 1985.] including some empty brass, and some primed brass.
Thank you all

Are you looking for pricing advice? I'd never sell reloaded or hand-loaded ammunition. This is a liability issue or perhaps paranoia on my part. When I receive loads that are not factory, I remove the bullet and recharge with my powder. The other powder becomes lawn fertilizer or fire starter.

Actually, I was looking more for info on the pictured boolit. I think it is for a 9mm.
Good advise on the handloads, I assumed they would be dismanteled and reloaded.

I'd guess 9mm, too. Do you know if they are commercial or hand cast? Any packaging hints?

Either 9mm or for a .380 ACP depending on it's weight. .355 diameter will work in both calibers but the .380 ACP is made for lighter bullets around 100 grains or less.

355 is not the diameter i'd want to use in any of my 9mm's.

I think commercial, the gentleman didn't have a mold for this boolit. They have a price tag, marked M&I's price, are in a plastic bag. They LOOK commercial. Not real pretty like you guys can make 'em.
I have about 70 .451 cast round balls also.
The Gentleman was from S. Cal.

Magma 9mm-125-RN. Typical commercial 9mm (undersize).

Find someone with a table at the next local gun show. Mark each of the 200 count bags of 9mm "$5.00...as is, no returns, no refunds".

Same for the .451 round balls.

Pull the bullets from the 45ACP, discard the bullets and powder, sell the primed brass for 10 cents each.

That's what I'd do with it..........

I agreed to help out, not take on a project. The 45 ACP's have turned into almost 700 rounds........
