The LEO SiL worked a gun show this weekend and he helped me spend beaucoup bucks LOL... He said a man there had a table half full of primers and they were all really old stuff. He called and ask if he should get some just because. after the discussion he was to get the small rifle primers and a couple thou of the small pistol primers...
Anyways at the end of the day he bought all that the man had left after snagging 5000 CCI 400 and 2000 CCI 450 primers then added 1100 Alcan max-fire primers to his box.. The cool part is the CCI stuff is all in Cascade Cartridge boxes.... I loaded a couple in prepped 223 brass and all go bang so I will use them up first or that is the plan. Got more Rem 7 1/2s too but not sure how many, the flats opened up and its a mess. I counted 8 flats floating around in the box.. so I have those plus the 7 1/2s we have on the shelf already - have enough for the hornets to play well past my time.. Also in the box is/was 3000 CCI 500 so we are back to having a decent supply - at least until the kids want to kill more bean cans..
He wrangled them for half the new shelf price after the man got disgusted because no one was buying them due to their age. I ask if he had any powder but I ask to late - a man bought all he had on the table just before SiL called - oh well wasnt meant to be..
He did get us a Bubba model Mosin -- it needs some TLC to even look ugly.. But he thinks we can "fix" it ROFLOL... he has a much higher faith level than I do right now.
