Great discovery

[tankgunner59]

I got a brick of primers today from a friend because I was down to a low supply. When I put them in my primer safe today I discovered a brick I had mistaken for something else. Nice day today.

Like finding money in your coat from last winter, but better

Did the same a couple of weeks ago. My dad gave me a few boxes of cast 500 grain boolits in Federal primer boxes years ago.

I was digging through them and discovered a couple of them actually contained 1000 primers instead of boolits.

Cool.

I've been thinking about casting up several hundred more .459-405s and sell off the mold.
That, and what I've got loaded for the .45-70 would last me forever, and I could get the mold back out in circulation.

Last night I was re-arranging some stuff and found about 40 or 50 pounds of them I'd already cast,
sized, lubed, and bagged for long term storage.

I set on primers except another brick of LRP and 209 would make things perfect. Just scored #1 of H4198 at a slightly inflated price.

"except another brick of LRP and 209 would make things perfect."

The only thing is--"make things perfect" is like "tomorrow"----it never comes!

It seems like 209s and some shotgun powders are starting to trickle in.
Our local guy had L & S primers dry up early on, but never quite ran out of 209s.
I was in today, and he had a couple bricks of 209s, and a few pounds of almost common/favorite shotgun powders.
