Title: Reloaded cartridges
Post by: cpodie on July 20, 2016, 09:52:32 PM: Any advice on what to do with reloaded cartridges? I have over 1400 rounds of various calibers that came to me from my father-in-laws estate.
Thanks for any suggestions

You could pull them for components, or you could shoot them if you have confidence in them.

:yeah:There's a lot of potential money there!

It's probably worth pulling the bullets and selling the brass, or sell the entire lot. I wouldn't break it up though. It would be more trouble than it's worth to sell it by cartridge.
