30-06 Reloading, 165 Grain, Milsurp

[paulo57509]

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I buy a lot of gun-type stuff at auction for resale. If I even think the seller reloads, I don't shoot any of the ammo I pick up. My guns and my face are much too expensive for fooling with unknowns!

Words to live by. I was given ~100 rounds of '06 reloads. I just pulled the bullets, oiled the primers and pitched the rest. Among the pitched components were a bunch that looked like this:

Total lack of attention to detail. Who knows what else is sketch? Consider the powder charge....

Consider the powder charge....

Exactly. The prospects are terrifying...and my insurance rider doesn’t cover my guns for blowing up in use!

Hi all,

I appreciate when folks come back with an update so I thought I'd stop in real quick.
I've been chasing my own tail trying to make a couple bucks with auction reselling but I had some time last night.

50 beautiful black tips loaded into brand new brass over 48 grains of IMR 4895. Not expecting to shoot them anytime soon (the range I go to certainly wouldn't appreciate it). But golly they sure do look pretty!

You certainly will not save money by reloading.

My ammo costs a pittance compared to factory. No comparison.

I just pulled the bullets, oiled the primers and pitched the rest.

I've salvaged out many hundreds over the years...keeping valuable bullets that can be used.
