Yeah, I've weeded out a few steel cased, berdan, .25 ACP (a couple), and about one mag worth of .357 sig. Got about 20 5.56 LC and about 50 or so 9mm. Plus about 50 loaded rounds of .40 with no primer dent. But three huge jelly roll trays of .40. The cops must have had a subgun class or something.
I tell you, it's been a lot of work cleaning/sorting this... even after the 4th and 5th time washing/sorting into a clean bucket, rinsing with fresh water, back in the other clean water bucket, I'm still finding tiny stones and stuff. Dunno if it's worth it. Pity I'm so cheap and can't bear to throw anything away.
I still haven't started reloading but I've been saving/scrounging brass for a couple of years. I got quite a bit of it, and powder, bullets, primers. Guess I just need to get off my duff and choose a press.
I think I'm getting a Lee classic turret for christmas. I've heard good things, particularly for pistol rounds which is what I primarily shoot, and the vids I've watched make it seem almost as fast as a progressive if you use the auto-indexing thing.
I was just about done with .40; but maybe reloading will get me excited about the round again. I was considering just sticking with .45 and 9mm, but now I have a crapload of .40 brass (plus another couple thousand I've saved up). Hmmmmm.....
BTW anyone know at what temp thin brass does start to anneal?
