Unexpected primer find

JupiterUnexpected primer find
I was doing some clean-up in my reloading room and started going through some plastic containers I haven't opened in a while and found these. 17K in small pistol primers as well as some small rifle and large pistol primers.
I mostly reload 9mm these days and was getting ready to bite the bullet and get more. I feel like I struck gold.

My better half seems to think it's too big and attempts to use it for her stuff. I have to watch her like a hawk.

sourdough44I drive to Michigan tomorrow. A semi-distant relative told me to stop by, she has some ‘powder & primers’ from an older gentleman she wants to give me.
I have no idea of the type or amount. Just in case I’ll bring a bottle along I know they like. If they break the threshold of 2 lbs or 1k primers, they get the bottle.

sourdough44I’m back from my MI trip, yes I did give them the bottle.
The stash was 2000k+ .224”, 55 grn bullets, 500 30 cal, a 25 lb bag of #6 shot. There was no reloading powder.
Down the rung was some cheap, plastic AR Mags, a few Ruger mini-14 mags, a S&W pistol box in good shape. Then 3000+ CCI 209 shotgun primers, none for pistol or rifle. Then a few books, bullet mold, and a bunch of previously reloaded 223 & 30-06 cases.
Anyway, going through some of it now. I don’t reload shotgun, so plan to send them down the road.

AZSigsGreat find. I'm downsizing and have found a number of cases of Rifle spp I'll sell locally.

Let me guess, you would be willing to take them off my hands for proper disposal?!

cee_KampYou bet!
If you have nobody else willing to do old/tired/likely ruined primer disposal for you, as a unseen Forum internet friend, I will reluctantly perform that civic task for you.
All that and compensation is not required! LOL
