Unexpected 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. Big Grin

You must have a bigger reloading room than I do.

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. Smile

I 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.

I’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.

Great 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?! Big Grin

You 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
