Let's say tomarrow you had a chance to buy a 6 or 7 pounds from a guy getting out of reloading what would you get on this list (all are unopen):

Green Dot - they have 2 pounders
Herco - they have 2 pounders (already have 1)
800x - they have 2 pounders (already have 3)
Universal Clays - they have 2 pounders
PB - they have 4 pounders
HS-7 they have 1 pound
WST - they have 1 pound

I was thinking for 7/8 loads I'd want all the PB for the future.

Wanted some longshot but he doesn't hoard it.

Buy ALL of it and if perhaps you can not find a load you
like in some of them, trade them off for others you can use

The Barter System is VERY healthy these days

Mike

When you say 2 pounders, you mean that he has two one pound containers??

Yes they are all 1 pound containers. Guy knew a friend of mine and happened to mention he was selling all his guns and reloading stuff. Friend gave him my number. I just wish there was a local gun club that I could find to do some trading.

He didn't have any 16ga guns or modern reloading equipment. I got 1 day to buy from him before he takes all his loading stuff to a store to sell.

If the price is right buy everything he has,
You will be able to sell off what you do not want
and maybe get what you want for FREE

Well, I tried my best to clean him out. His pricing was up to date. His list was not accurate as he updated me on which ones had been open and used.

I took all his unused which consisted of HS-6, WST, Green Dot, PB, Herco, 800x, SR7625, and Universal. Multiple pounds of Herco, PB, SR7625, and 800x. The 7625 and PB must have been older because they were in 8 oz metal cans.

Even managed to buy 3 boxes of 32-20 ammo off him (winchester, remington, and ultramax) and 50 pounds of remington mag lead #7.5.

So much for that Remington 31 16ga with poly choke I was planning to get for Christmas! Anyone got ideas on a free gift for the wife for Christmas? Shocked
