About 2 hours ago, a coworker gave me all of his reloading equipment. It turns out that his girlfriend was moving in and he needed the storage space.
So...
Now I have 200+ lbs. of backbreaking, old reloading equipment (filled most of my truck bed.) Most of it is brass, bullets and blocks of lead. There are some unused ammo, primers and powder. It seems most of the stuff is about 15-20 years old especially the primers and the powder. It also came with a couple of presses, a gas and electric furnace, dies, and a lot of other unidentifiable crap.
I need to know what is safe to use, and if it isn't, how I should properly dispose of it. I also noticed that some the brass near the water line has some greenish coloring inside the case, is this safe to reload?
Basically, what can I salvage and how do I know it's salvagable?
By the way, I don't know anything about reloading
