Was given some ammo
« 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:
It's not true that I am good for nothing---I can be used as a bad example!!

I would be interested in the 270 stuff if we lived closer to each other, guess you will just have to buy a 270 to shoot it through. :P
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

You can also resize 270 to use for .30-06.  The 270 is based off the 06 as its parent case.

Got to love it when you can actually FIND good help like that...

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

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

Never shoot reloaded ammo unless you know and trust the person who reloaded it.  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.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

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:

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

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. 
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
