Hello all! First time poster, long time shooter, and new member of this forum.
Long story short, my neighbor is currently in the process of moving, and had mentioned that her late husband’s father was very into shooting and reloading. So she says that she has a couple boxes of stuff that she’d like to give me. Which included all of his old reloading dies, bench gear, bench rests, primers, bullets, brass, powder, and some ammunition.
There is a lot here, but I’d like to see if anyone of you guys (who is likely far more familiar with this kind of stuff than I am) might be able to provide any information on some of this stuff, and possibly what some of it would be worth. I love shooting, and I’ve been doing it most of my life (father is ex military, and is big into long range shooting and hunting). I know that some of this I plan to give to him, and some it it I will likely never use. So I’d like to potentially get good price points in regards to possibly selling some of it.
Rough inventory list:
~300x Sako .220 Russian brass
~50x 6mm REM (loaded, unsure of primer, powder, or bullet specs)
~150x Frontier 22-.250 Brass
~50x R-P 30-06 Brass
I have not had time to count all of the bullets, but there are likely a couple thousand of varying calibers/makes, some of which appear to be custom.
- A. Euber .243 Detsch
- M. Hollister .243 Detsch
- Rubright 6mm
- Bob Demonstroy (.243 90gr?)
- Ocock .243 63.5gr
And IÂ’m sure a couple others (see pictures attached)
5+ lbs of Hodgdon H322
5+ lbs of T322
~1lb of Hercules HR338
~1/2lb Hercules HR326
Tons of primers-
~8,000x Federal #200M
~1,800x Federal #210M
~1,000x Federal #205M
And a number of others, included in attached pictures.
I was also given 12 die sets (most complete, some look like they might have something missing), which include:
- .257 Weatherby
- RCBS 30-06
- RCBS 7mm REM Mag
- RCBS .308 Win
- RCBS 6mm 224 REM
- RCBS .45 ACP
- RCBS .44 Mag and .44 Spec
- RCBS .22-.250
- RCBS .222 REM Mag x2
- RCBS .30 REM
And to top it all off, a brand new in box Leupold Vari-X II 2x7
Any insight is tremendously appreciated. I’d be happy to chat more about anything you read about or see!
*Looks like I won’t be able to attach all of the pictures of what I have. I will see if I can post them in the comment thread*
Regards, Alex
