So a co worker called me asking to help with the disposal and value of some reloading and gun stuff left in a shop when his elderly neighbor died. The widow wanted this stuff gone.
I went over and found a ton of 30 carbine brass as well as some bandoleers of loaded 30 carbine on stripper clips.
there is 32 win spl brass, 30-30 brass, lots of old military 30-06 brass and some loaded, 303 Brit, .308, lots of old military .45acp and some loaded, a bunch of plastic bullets for 45acp. I found a box of 30-40 krag ammo with a receipt in it for $6.96 for the ammo. 2 boxes of 45-70 that are too corroded to use.
There are a few cigar boxes of bees wax discs, and a cigar box full of 45cal cast and lubed bullets. I need to weigh and find what grain but they are heavy so I am sure they are for a 45-70 or something close to that.
I am going to destroy the old reloads of 45acp and the primers that are from the 1950s as I don't think the are safe to use. I am not sure about the safety of the 30carbine as it has some tarnish/corrosion on them.
Any help on the value of some of this would be greatly appreciated. I am going to run the brass through the tumbler and clean and sort it before I list it in the classifieds.
