Found 24lbs of powder I forgot I had

But do you have primers and bullets to go with that powder?

I would be covered with the H335, but would be lacking about 1k primers each of the Titegroup & WST.

Why don't you sell the H335 powder online? I'm sure you'll have a buyer for and you should get a decent price also.

About 3 years ago we did some remodeling and I put some of my reloading supplies in an out of the way spot in the house. Digging around back there the other day and among other things I found 8lbs of WST, 8lbs of Titegroup and 8lbs of H335. Not sure why I have the H335 as I don't reload any rifle cartridges. I must have been thinking about reloading 223/556 at some point.
Anyway, good to know I don't have to worry much about powder for a while.

Cool. Absent-mindedness is usually a trouble for me. It's good to hear that sometimes it is rewarding.

That's almost like winning a small lottery jackpot for sure. Agree that you could swap the H335 locally for primers or something else you could use if you are not planning to use it otherwise.

Niceness! Like a late Christmas present...

I have been digging through stuff I have squirreled away years ago. Finding powder I got in the mid 90s and all of it has been properly stored. Plenty of VihtaVouri and some other brands. I need to sort it out and figure exactly what I have and then I plan to just sell it as a lot. I figure $12 Lb for all, someone else can break it down however they wish. I figure I will never get through all of this powder. It will be face to face Cleveland, Ohio suburbs. Also finding bullets and brass. I did have all my primers together in one place. During early to mid 90s my wife and I had a small but nice brick and mortar gun shop. I have primers still labeled $75 for 5,000 CCI BR2 and BR4 match. I figure we were paying 20% below that. Today I can't believe what components are selling for.

Nice find, real nice. Now just sit back and relax.

A feel good story for sure.
You feel good you found 24lbs of powder. I feel good that there is someone out there more forgetful than me.

Wish we weren't 1000 miles apart or I'd trade you the SR primers you must already have for the SP or LP primers you need.

Score!

I found 5k large pistol primers I forgot I had yesterday, much to my delight

A logical deduction. Good thinking.

Dang. 8lbs of WST. I’d just about weep for joy.

That was my thinking too!

I have also been finding stuff stashed away that I bought and forgot about. Latest find was 1,200 Remington #10 percussion caps, two pounds of Pyrodex P, and 2 lbs of 777 FFG. Not too shabby seeing as how i just bought a Ruger Old Army.

I found a box of bullets under my bed yesterday. It has 500 hundred Speer GDHP bullets for each .38 Special and 9mm. Yes, I have plenty of primers too. It looks like we both got lucky this week!

@ArchAngelCD score!

I have a bunch of XTP’s in .38 that I wish were gold dots

A couple days back, I found 2000 pieces of new primed Lake City 308 brass that I bought 3-4 years ago. I was very excited when I told my wife, and she looked at me like I was crazy.

At least a few guys on here will understand...

You are rich in many ways in these times, a good problem to have.

You could put that up for sale with 10k of primers and retire immediately and buy a brand new truck!

I went through my dad's powder supply. He is 87. He had more than you could shake a stick at. Some stored in all sorts of places. He knew where they all where, but had lost track of what was what. I visited him yesterday and he still has a good supply of all sorts of things. Primers, bullets, powders and such. I took most of the older powder and put it to good use. Some that looked a little too old was used to fertilize. Others to load with.
