Well I dood it again
I just got really crazy again. I know an older fellow locally who has a large amount of shooting/casting /reloading stuff stored in his warehouse in a tractor trailer. He has at least 2-3 tons of commercial cast lead and jacketed bullets in the lot and a whole bunch of other stuff. I even saw a few(10-12) kegs of powder etc. It came from an estate that the widow wanted him to sell. He's sold half the trailer so far but nothing is going right now so I made him an offer....and he accepted it on the whole mess. Now I have to unload the trailer and get it home. I opened a few boxes and cherry picked some of it the other day. In one box I found 30 bullet moulds..most are new in the boxes..including a new Hensley & Gibbs #258 4 cavity mould with handles..still in the shipping box with a post mark of 1965. They didn't make all that many 41 caliber moulds so it is a bit rare..especially new. When I get through with this thing I hope I am able to make a small profit and keep the stuff I want to play with. I am also hoping to find a Star bullet sizer in the lot cause I found 18 dies for one.

Dan, if you were a sport you would go help the old pirate, move his booty to the anchorage.

Pirates??
I am not a pirate..anymore!! Going to go look again at what I done bought tomorrow. Just what I need...more crap! I hadda pay a little bit more but thinkI did ok so far. One box had another 15 bullet moulds in it and about 30 more sets of dies. I got a Star sizer in the mess. New and a CH heater to sit it on..We'll see when I get to go through the bullets. I actually have an offer on the bullets and they want to buy 'em all at 25 bucks for the boxes of cast(500) lead and 15 a box for the jacketed bullets(100) But I am going to keep a few after I sort them.. There is approx. 300 jacketed boxes and maybe 300 cast but there are some others that are opened and I will end up having to sort them. Mo werk!! NOW..ain't thee anybody that needs som 40 S&W brass..and 9mm? Tween the 2 calibers two other fellows and I have approx. 40,000 rounds of once fired commercial..and I also got 4000 223 brass too from a friend back east in Md. He also just got 250 lbs of once fired 308(military) brass given to him. It may have been fired in Gatling(mini) guns at Aberdeen Proving Grounds though Still it was FREE and I can have some..free, I'm gonna pick some up when I go back to Md..
