You should be able to sell it to a reloader if you don't plan on getting into it yourself. I've got thousands of empty 223s too.

While you "can" reload berdan brass, its a slow and painful process depriming spent shells. 5K is a lot of berdan primers, but if you have the brass, make up some SHTF load-out packs and sell the rest.

Well FLTF3, I figure if folks are going bonkers over 22 LR, then I might just load anything that sits still long enough.

I agree with what you are saying "in normal times" but am about ready to reload 7.62x54R. LOL!

I'll have to get back to you on that Dad. Three of us are pooling money and a friend of mine bought the bullets and primers from our stash. Don't know exactly how much he gave for them.

around a quarter, near as I can tell. A mix of pre and post panic supplies.

Nice, saving .50 a round

You are a true gentleman and a scholar! Thank you sir!

Gonna do some 223 next weekend. Thousands of empties just waiting for me. Also ordered some 308, 9mm, and 7.62x39 dies.

Thanks AZG. I always considered myself altruistic.

Dont forget the platinum core penetrators Tim.

Thanks. Platinum MUST be cheaper than steel these days. And brass, and lead, and....

I think a diamond-tipped gold bullet would have interesting penetration results.

Snap the fuck out of it mister. Get off your sorry miserable ass and go do something about it.

I've also found that moderate exercise a few times per week helps.

Appreciate it guys. I'm starting to feel better. Still, I was hoping someone would tell me how bad things were going for them. That way I could laugh at them and feel better sooner. Uh, just kidding.

You scored. Russian SKS are going for $500+ in major Texas markets.

I'll try to get someone competent to snap some pics, Chile.

This guy claims they have been in the safe since the early 90s and I believe him. Not an expert on these but they're blued instead of painted and are in the best shape I've ever seen for SKSs. I'm happy.

I've been looking for a nice SKS, wanna sell one?

I'm expecting my Christmas bonus any day now.

With the popularity of Glassbolts, good luck getting to it.

That's a beautiful stock. Mine will be another full length for the 7.62x39 and after it's finished I may chance ruining it by bleaching.

I wouldn't do that with Zebrawood. No.

You wouldn't do what with it? Make a stock out of it, or bleach it?

Thanks for the link. That is some damn fine craftsmanship! Looks different. I like it.

Anxious to see it' Tim.

Just got in. It's been a tuff day so I'll just sneak you guys a pic for now.

Reloading the .40 is easy, may also want to look at a final sizing die to use after seating the bullet. I use them on all my pistol calibers

I prefer 180 grain myself. Pretty close to spitting a light weight .45 ACP round. Make'um feel it.

Yeah, I got a 4 die set but haven't used the sizing /crimping die yet. I figure my first bullet has an investment of around 300 bucks so I didn't want to add extra labor and bump the price even more.

LMFAO...

Is that Cobra76two on the keyboard?

Juggs was in there too.

Worst song I could find at a moment's notice.

I just can't think of any reason why ammo would be going up, across the board. Maybe certain calibers or something. But not all ammo in general.

I agree except pretty much everything else is going up too. Gasoline, food, Saigas (LOL). Not to get political, but the government is printing way too much money and that hurts the value of every dollar out there. Hence... pretty much everything is going to cost more.

especially everything firearm related with the ATT being voted on this summer. it wouldnt suprise me it goes up even more.

40 rounds, 2 mags, no problems.
