Hey Guys – need some help. I’m a handgunner, not a rifleman. Well, I shoot a rifle like I shoot a handgun, but I’m in no way an expert on rifle calibers. Rifle calibers actually confuse the Hades out of me, truth be told.
So, a friend of mine who is getting divorced says “hey, you reload, don’t you? I have a bunch of brass I don’t know what to do with….you want it?” “Sure, what the heck. If it’s not a caliber I use, I can always find a home for it…”
So, I get the bucket of brass home and start to sort out what is there. All rifle brass. The list of what’s here is below – quite an assortment, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of the top of the bucket yet.
Can someone tell me what calibers are normally reloaded and worth selling / trading / getting someone started reloading? I have at least 50 pounds of the stuff, and don’t want to totally waste my time sorting, bagging, etc. if it’s a wild goose chase.
Input is much appreciated!
