My younger brother, who to my knowledge has never pulled the handle on a press, called me the other day about his flea market find. An older fellow had died and the contents of his booth was left to the folks in the booth next to him by the guy's wife. They apparently didn't know what they had.
Over 4000 pieces of cleaned and deprimed brass in 9mm, 40, and 45acp.
400+ LPP
300 or so SPP
NIB Hornady digital scale. Nevermind, here's a picture.
(The powders have all been opened).
So, I'm thrilled for him. Ecstatic. A bit jealous maybe. Then he starts calling every 5 minutes to ask what "this" is. Frustration soon follows. Then he tells me he got it all for $125. I'm impressed.
There's 2600 pieces of sized and PRIMED brass. Shocked. Ecstatic again. 500 or so are Steel case 45acp. Disappointment again. Sort of confused as well. Several hundred pieces of quality brass, and the guy wasted primers on steel cases.
Still a great haul though. And if times get really lean, we'll figure out a use for the steel cases. I figure sizing is the hardest part on dies, and that's already done.
