I'm simply overwhelmed by the tremendous feedback, condolences, and cordial approach by everyone in this thread. Again, sorry for the delayed response.
To me, THR seems more like a family of like minded people...than a forum of strangers. Kudos and thanks to everyone who has chimed in.
I've taken some initial inventory, lot's of 44 & 45's, 270 rifle rounds, also 12 gauge. A ton of spent rounds for the above. However, I found some unusual things....at least to me...knows nothing about ammo. I need to take some pictures of these odd things.
1) Some rounds (38 Special) don't have any rounded bullet tip. The bullets look like they were sawed off level with the end of the brass cartridge. You can see the mold marks in the flat lead end so they obviously were not sawed off. Are these considered a "slug" or something? What are these for?
2) Many of the bullets have a deep hole in the center. These are considered hollow point correct? Is it OK to sell these?
3) With some of the bullets the casing is dark gray, not brass. I thought these might be Teflon coated but assumed they would be slippery like a frying pan surface, they are not. Maybe they are just gray steel.
4) A few boxes look like they are new brass casings without a bullet. I think it says "Unprimed" on the box but he wrote "Primed" on the box with a pen. Any insight here would be appreciated.
