    Folks that are cursed with organizational skills, never experience the joy of finding treasures behind their other stuff

    Nope. Still no forgotten primers or powder. If I find anything its going to be dust.

    Been moaning for months that I couldn't find anybody making Ballard extractror blanks for my .28-30-120 build. Last week I opened a jar of Stevens 44 bits and pieces. Lo and Behold, there's not only a Ballard extractor in there, but it's exactly the right cut for the .28-30 cartridge. Marlin never made a Ballard in .28-30. Go figure.

    I tend to find factory ammo that I squirrled away and forgot about. Found a can of Unique last week which was nice since I thought I was about to run out.

    Couple months back I found a sack with box of 100 #1 Mustad Sproat hooks and 4 boxes of Rem 22 shorts. Store I bought them at went under close to 20 years ago.

    Best I can figure, its still in low earth orbit.
    Mine escaped out in the boonies .

    They’re all together somewhere, partying with the escaped socks.

    Still "going through my stuff" of cleaning up my reloading bench. Lo and behold I find I have way more bullets suitable for loading 32acp than I remember having and even found an unopened bag of 32acp PPU brass. Unfortunately I had already ordered 32acp brass from Starline thinking I didn't have enough. Have a gracious plenty now!

    That's usually how I find stuff, after looking "everywhere," I buy another one, and just as soon as I throw out the receipt and packaging, there's the original. The only thing this does not work on is 1911 recoil spring plugs. Those disintegrate upon reaching terminal velocity and are never seen again.

    My reloading manuals were held from tipping over by 6 bricks of 22 ammo. I was using them for book ends!! A visitor noticed, I had completely forgot.
