went to a friends after he died, lots of powder for sale. told the estate Company they better let folks know that just cause it said the contents on the outside they better confirm. He was bad about buying bulk and repacking into whatever cans he had around the house. I'm betting they didn't.
Helped my brother find some Large Rifle primers this week. Amazing that small rifle are everywhere and large are non existent. Also seems to say a lot more 7.62 is being loaded for around the world than 5.56.
At $200+ on Amazon this one might be better for titewads like me!

This in a Thumblers Tumbler model B for rocks. They have a fast one but my wife and I use the same one for different things. I do brass, she does glass and rocks. Never had a dull case since. And as stated above, hot water works best.
I've loaded off and on for 55 years now, started with a $10 mauser and a Lee 7x57 loader. I was to young to buy bullets but old enough to be sold components, go figure. Over the years lots of folks have asked me to reload for them, I've always offered to show them how instead. I can't think of...
Personally I have 30/06 bullets that I loaded around 85 that I still shoot. I have an 8 pound jug of one of the Accurate powders that I bought on sale for under $40 when they first came out, not much left but when I get set back up from moving I plan on using it. That said I had a much newer...
I'd bet you get more here than from any bulk purchaser. That said I've picked them up on the ODT at 3000 a clip. Wouldn't take long to run through a pallet of GlynCo at that rate. You can get that many in a flat rate box.
Signmaker sold me 30/06 at 25 per 200, I thought that was a fair price. If I'm reading the LC case right that round is 66 years old. Wouldn't bother me but that might some.
SS pins, a good single stage press and powder measure. Buy the rest to play with as needed or wanted. Lots of folks get out of it and have setups ready to buy. I picked up over $3500 worth for $350 because a wife wanted it out of the house
