Title: Was given some ammo
Post by: Fishnclifff on October 08, 2011, 06:58:14 PM: I was given a box full of ammo from my mom's neighbor.
Some old 30.06( 150, 165, 180gr) reloads, a lot of .38 brass.

In the box, I found a box of factory Remmie corelokt .270win, 130gr psp.
If anyone is interested in the 270 stuff, shoot me a PM.

I shoot .06 and .38, so I am trying to reclaim the components and good brass.

Big job, had to bring in the big guns to get er done. :chuckle:
My grandson at 20 months. :tup:
He actually separated a round after 10 or 20 " taps" :chuckle:
Notice we have our favorite tasty beverages at hand. :chuckle: :IBCOOL:

You can do that with a lot of trimming, the 270 case is longer than the 06.

If there's the slightest doubt, pull the bullets and dump the powder and load them yourself. I've seen too many guns blown up from shooting unknown reloads. The miracle occurs when there are no injuries when the gun blows up. Just not worth the risk IMO.

Post by: Fishnclifff on October 10, 2011, 09:41:25 PM: Same here. I pulled all the reloads, saved everything but the powder.

To the person who PM'd me about the 270 rounds----Pm me back, we will work out somethin.
I brain farted and deleted everything in my message box :sry:

Title: Lead and kids.
Post by: Helix on October 19, 2011, 10:36:34 AM: Please take this as concern not malice. A reloading bench is no place for a young child. The lead in the bullets and on componenets is extremely hazardous to young kids and exposure will result in brain damage and developmental disabilities. Once this damage is done it can't be undone.

Please protect your kiddos from exposure to lead by keeping them away from reloading supplies as well as loaded ammo and also by keeping their food and drink away from reloading activities. Thanks

Post by: GoldTip on October 19, 2011, 10:43:19 AM: Get them interested in that stuff as soon as you can. Obviously do not let the kid take naps on the reloading bench, but him giving you a hand now and then with reloading will help keep him interested in what Grandpa's passions is and help the two of you bond as well. Good luck finding someone to take your extra ammo.
