Pay it Forward in Reloading

I have a couple midway usa cases of paper and styrofoam bullet boxes. I got it a few years ago, and took a couple of each size out, but I just use factory boxes or a little plastic case for the most part. I hand load and shoot it - so, I'll probably never have more than 200 hand loads of this or that anyways, so - I'll never use these boxes. Southern, NH .. if anyone wants them, probably not worth the shipping costs, but if you want to cover it - I'll send them to you. I think one is .38 Special and the slightly shorter box is for 9mm.

I’m not getting anything unless I need it. 2022 motto! except Guns, primers, powder, press, tumbler (thank @Poper ) 1911’s (cheap) and used construction wood!

Those all seem like needs to me. I’ve been known to stop and grab a piece of 2x4 off the highway. Got a project right now that will need several short studs (12” or so).

When I stop to get a piece of wood I always think of the unibomber. He hollowed out a section of 4x4 best I recall, and made a bomb from it, leaving it in a parking lot. When someone, like myself or @Mark_Mark thought, sweet, a piece of free framing board, moved it, it exploded!

I’m going to bed! WOW!
 
I have about three dozen pieces of .30 carbine brass. Mixed headstamps, unknown number of firings, most still have the spent primer in them. Picked them up with some other bits. All I've done to them is run them through the vibrating brass shiner upper. Not worth much, but if anyone can use them let me know and I'll send them your way.

I could use them. My nephew has been trying to shoot his Blackhawk. But can't afford ammo. I have dies, bullets and primers. But no brass.
 
My office is moving to a new building and I have 2 large size (2" D-ring) presentation-style and 3 standard size 3-ring binders to dispose of. The large format are the old Wilson-Jones kind that open up for presenting green sheets/ledger-size paper and hold nearly a full ream. The standard size hold half-a-ream of letter-size copy paper. I know some of y'all use these for your loading data and targets and such so if anybody wants them for USPS mailing cost, drop me a PM. All or nothing, sorry. They're barely worth the mailing cost as it is and I really don't have time to parse them out individually. Just seems a waste to toss them when someone might be able to use them.

New these puppies are $15/each but we just don't do green-sheet collaboration anymore, especially since all the teams went virtual. Now we whiteboard everything. These are in like-new condition because we're generally pretty careful with our stuff around here.

Spaceships? That was my dad's thing. I made parts for weapons and surveillance systems.
