Title: Shell casings
Post by: springer on March 03, 2018, 10:46:28 AM
 Have a bag of brass, 9mm + .380, sized and de-primed. Was going to get back into reloading but that has changed.

Free to good home.  ;)

You mixed .380 with 9mm??

That kinda thing's likely to get a man kilt around these parts...

Well if someone is that careless and inattentive, reloading is not something they need to do.  ;)

380 cases in my range brass pick-up 9mm is the devil's work. If you've ever run a progressive press, or even something like a Dillon 550B, you'll understand. It looks enough like 9mm that it will get loaded into the shell carrier, and then it will shut the works down. God help you if you actually primed it before you realized it was in there...

Equally evil are small-primer pocket 45 ACP cases. Those are just un-American.

Just 1...that's all...I swear before God officer.  :D

It wasn't the shot that did me in, it was the time I got home...and the unfortunate fact I'm getting...well getting into that O world...old.  :(
When I left y'all I said I was taking the long way home. Got home around 1:30am...BTW, heated gear is the ace of spades.  ;)

I reload but have a decent amount of 380 and 9mm.

If you have mixed brass you need to buy the three brass sorting trays. Ones black, one yellow and one is blue. Each sorts out specific calibers. There's also a metal plate you can buy that sorts 380 and 9mm. It's a godsend for range brass. Midway and other places sell it.

If anyone has any odd caliber brass I might be interested.

218 Bee
22 hornet
6.8spc
348 win
35 rem
357 mag
44mag
Maybe some 30/30 and 30-06?

I think I have a big ol' bag of .357 around here somewhere...of course there might be some .38 mixed in.

Like I said, I was heavily into reloading in the 80's. Competed in the State and regional bowling pin shoots n stuff. I remember those trays...had them back then. I even cast my own bullets from wheel weights.  Them with just a tad of tin added made a hard bullet.

Heck, I remember when Progressive Press's came out.  :D Before that it was just single stage stuff. Like my old RockChucker.

Let me know what you have left. If you have any molds im just getting it to casting.

And yes my rock crusher is about 45 years old. Do most things on a Dillon now but won't ever give up my green press.

Nothing unfortunately. Had to sell it all when I went through divorce in 1990.
