When I bought this bottle of case resizing lube, it did not occur to me that it might be a lifetime supply. But it's starting to look that way.
(bullets are 64g JSP blems, cannelures are all over the place... will be fine for banging away at steel plates at 100 yards)

Give the outside of the powder drop a light spritz of
Sorting though some stuff I got from an elderly vet. He competitively shot an M1 Garand and his daughter is giving me everything but the guns.
This was the first batch of goodies as well as 400 rounds of Match 30-06 mostly in clips
Thought the vintage primer logo was neat

Those large rifle primers are worth a lot nowadays. Nice
Don’t I know it
Do r even want to say what I paid for small rifle primers a year ago or
There should be more 4895 my M1a will eat good
I’m convinced that 95% of all reloading components ever sold are in people’s basements and haven’t been used in 10+ years.
Only slightly joking based on what I see. I think we all stock up and we may never get to all the components we have.

Amen.
I have a lot of powder that was some old man’s treasure trove.
I’m sure someone will clean it out of my house some day too.

Just put some new rubber hose on the axels of my supersized wet tumbler. Have to deprime a shitload of brass, then ill clean a bunch up. I can do 10 lbs. of brass in each tube. I use 2 lbs. more pins than brass. So if ten lbs. of brass i go with 12 lbs. of pins. Then i add water, i think its about 3 gal. And my secret formula, ill give it up to all u guys on NES, is 8oz. of Simple Green concentrate, 1 Tbl. of Lemishine, and 2 Tbl. of armorall wash and wax. I run the tumbler for about 3 hrs. and they come out looking brand new. Hers a few pics......
It's the nature of being constantly under attack. Some day, it will be illegal or economically impractical to buy powder, primers, and bullets. And we're already getting close to the latter.
Prob not wrong honestly. I still have a sealed 8 pound jug of IMR-4064 that’s got to be 10 years old at this point. Same with many of the large rifle primers I have. Definitely a lifetime supply of rifle components at the rate I shoot them. Still have factory ammo to burn through.
Hopefully some kid will be sending my factory ammo into the side of a sand dune in 50 years.
I'm an old kid and ill help you do that now.

Uggh. Loading 10MM and there was a pebble in the brass I was depriming. Broke the pin. Man that's annoying.
The spring pin deprimers are pretty nice. I heard FW arms sold off their design to someone else. Might Armory also makes one. I swicthed recently to the Mighty Armory one and it works much better than my old Lee universal.

No it’s true another buddy of mine owned a gun shop and supplied a local PD he’s sitting on totes and totes of 9mm and .45 components and half a dozen Dillion progressive presses
