Of the hard cast variety
I am going to look at a pretty good batch of reloading equipment and components mid week. The man who's it was has passed and the family is selling his stuff.
The good news is that he has a good selection of Powders, Bullets, Dies. The bad news is that his station and storage looks to be in a basement that gets a lot of moisture.
I am not worried about the equipment. I can get the surface off of that. Not worried about the bullets. A little concerned about the inside of the dies. Definitely concerned about any opened powder and any primers. And I am going to have to treat loaded rounds as components and break them down. Unless he has detailed records I won't know what or how much powder is in them, and odds are the brass will have to be resized plus there is no telling how many times it has been shot...unless there are accurate records there and even then I wouldn't trust them.
Anyway, what do you guys think would be a fair offer for me to buy it all?
The pics show what I'm talking about condition wise.
