Pictures and counts of the bullets and cases would be a monumental task. If you are seriously interested and need to know quantities of a specific item, PM me.
As for price, I'll work that out with the interested party. If you take the entire lot, I PROMISE you that you will be happy with the...
Here are some pictures.
Things not pictured include bullets, brass, and miscellaneous reloading tools.
I weighed the powder canisters on a food scale, except for the AA#9 which was too heavy for the scale so I weighed it on the bathroom scales.
Primers:
3000 CCI 300 small pistol

SOLD PENDING MEETING.
Thanks everyone!
I have reached the stage in my life where I need to get rid of my reloading stuff. There is a LOT of stuff here.
The collection includes dies, bullets, powder, primers, and cases for 44 magnum, 357 magnum, 9mm, 380 acp, .308 win. (I think that's all...
Where can I buy Win231 powder locally in (or near) Gwinnett?
I'm starting up a new caliber for reloading (45 ACP) and want to try a pound of Win 231 without incurring hazmat fees. Thanks!
I'm not aware of any other place offering a pound of Unique for $15 plus tax which is what the Gander Mountain deal comes to. If you know of a better deal please let us know where!
$20 off on a purchase of $50, today and tomorrow (but today's over!)
The ad says it doesn't apply to firearms and ammunition. But they honored it tonight on powder at the store in Lawrenceville GA (Scenic Hwy). 2 lbs of Unique at $24.99, plus a $5 ammo case to bring it to around $55 before...
These are plenty fast for plinking. I have been using aa#9 or win296, with xtp and nosler sp for full power loads, but I don't shoot a lot of those. But these lighter loads are a lot cheaper and more fun to shoot. Not counting brass, I can load these for around $0.17 per round.

Note, the bullets pictured above were all fired through the Marlin.
Observations: The plated bullets all held up pretty well. There is one "petal" that was shed from one of the Xtreme rounds, but aside from that (and some terminal impact damage) the copper plating held together well. OTOH...
I dug four bullets out of the red clay bank behind the target. In the pictures below, the one on the left is a Berrys bullet. The two in the center are Xtreme bullets(identified by the cannelure markings). The one on the right is the Missouri bullet. The first picture is the pretty side of...
Ok, back from the range.
I shot four different loads from a 5.5" Ruger Redhawk and also from a 20" Marlin 1894 (2015 production, Ballard rifling)
1) Berry's 240 grain RNFP copper plated with 6.4 grains Bullseye, CCI 300 primers, OAL=1.62", light roll crimp
Redhawk: 839, 820, 806 (ave = 822...
I have a few Berrys on hand and a bunch of Xtremes. I should be able to load them such that they are 800+ from a revolver and 1200 or less from a rifle. That should be sufficient for plinking. I'll give that a try and see what kind of results I get.
FWIW, here's what Berrys replied:
It’s once that bullet is pushed over 1,250 fps we can’t guarantee that the copper plating will stay adhered to the lead core.
I'm quite familiar with how cast bullets and jacketed bullets perform in the handgun and rifle. My question is about how the plated bullet performs in a rifle. I'm asking for reports from people who have tried it.
BTW, the chamber pressure doesn't immediately drop the instant when all the powder has burned. The gasses that are still inside the barrel continue to be under pressure until the bullet exits the barrel and the gasses are released. So the bullet continues to accelerate after the powder is...
