    I ended up shipping out almost 200 lbs of brass today to 7 different people.
    181.25 lbs to be exact and yesterday I shipped out 77.25 lbs of brass.
    Everything was mainly 9mm, 45acp and 223/556

    That should help get your stash down to a manageable amount.

    Yeah, but I wish I could get rid of some 40sw and 308 win because I have a lot of those.

    Went to the range today with my son. An older gentleman showed up by himself with 11 rifles. (About all I've seen brass wise at the range is 9mm, 223, 40S&W.) This guy began shooting and immediately I knew he was shooting some different caliber rifles. 375 H&H Mag, 300 Win Mag, 444 Marlin, 6.5 Rem Mag, 270 Win, 30.06... I went over and he was not a reloader. So I picked up all his brass. I'm now going through what I got. He didn't shoot a lot of any single caliber, but a decent number over all. The estate sale and now this, off to a great start this year. If primers would show up at a decent price...

    I need to get to the range myself. I just mounted 3 scopes and those rifles need shot. Waiting for the snow and ice to melt.

    Picked up a bunch of 308 at the range and found them to be Berdan primed. Excellent opportunity to try out converting to Boxer. First swaged the bases and formed into 6,5 x 50. Next built a Berdan tool to extract primer. Tomorrow will drill cases to take primer punch, seat bushing in primer pocket, swage bushing to accept small rifle primer. A lot of work, but just want to try something new.

    After sizing, depriming, trimming, swaging, I've been polishing 3, 30cal ammo cans full of 30.06. They all got the wet SS treatment and then dried off by tumbling them. They are all beautiful and ready to load. Looking forward to outside shooting this spring. Bought some new 30 carbine magazines that were on sale. I have some loads to work out from the powder I bought at an estate sale. The powders are pretty old, but the cans were not opened. It was stored in a cool dry place. So I'm loading for the 30 carbine with 2400 and the Garand with 4895.

    I thought brass trader was gone because earlier today nothing came up when I tried to come here.

    I wasn't too worried when I saw that Cast Boolits was down also.
