Cracker Jack Prize in My Range Brass

I actually reload .45 Auto-rim for my S&W 1955 revolver. Although these days I mostly use "moon" clips and regular .45ACP.

Really really rare to find .45 AR at a range. I never have. I guard mine like gold.

I found a 45 (acp) rimmed in my range brass yesterday.

With one piece of 45 Auto Rimmed brass, now you have an excuse to go buy a 45 ACP revolver.

You can't let one piece of brass go unused.

Love my 45 AR. Like moxie, I keep a watchful eye on the brass when at the range.

I wonder how many other cartridges were developed after the firearm like this?

I found some 32-40 Win brass a while back...It was mixed in with my 30-30 brass!!!

The best thing I got out of this post was CRACKER JACKS.
I have not had any of them for many years, just forgot about them.
Guess what I'm buying next grocery store trip.

Last fall picked up three 38 special with the Super-Vel head stamp.
I reloaded them with 148 gr. wad cutters. They are in my S&W J frame.

A few months ago a .32-20 was just laying there when I was picking some .38 spec brass. Probably rolled off the bench...un-noticed. I always look around when at the range. Just never know...

One time I found a box of 50, 45 LC on the pistol range. I was totally shocked, because a lot of the guys at that club do cowboy shoots, so they love their brass. So maybe it was someone else that got a hand cannon and wanted to throw big lead around. Well I thanked them as I collected all their brass.

Earlier this year I found the new 5.7 x 28

Catpop, thank for sharing. I feel the same when I find something new at the range. On Friday I also found a 5.7x28FN case that I added to me collection. My collection is still small, but it is becoming a discussion piece at home.

45AR was the first round I ever cast. (top of the picture)





My best range find was two pieces of 50AE brass. Yes, I have a DE in 50AE (I'd use it as my CCW but it is just too damn small). I have never did any hand loads for it.

Nothing great for this collection so far. Best I got was 50AE

I just found another little gem at the shooting range. The case I found was a 32S&W, not the 32S&W Long. It was actually a live round, so I am also able to add another bullet to my bullet collection.

I don't know how much this round is used, but it is not listed in Lyman 49th, but it is listed in the Lee 2nd edition manual.
