Wtb - San Antonio: single rounds for cartridge collection

[rp-]

Awesome. Any chance you will be in my neck of the woods anytime?

 

[Charlie]

I've still got some for you rp- but I haven't gone through them to ID all of them. I'm out of town for a few days and when I get back I'll go through them and let you know what I have and send you any you may not have. Don't give up on me.

I could produce 300blk, 280rem, 357 SuperMag (357max) and 445 SuperMag. I will dig through my "catch all" ammo can to see if I have anything else that may be of use in your collection.

I can bring them down the next time I head to SA, which will probably be in the next few weeks.

Cdf, if you still feel like digging through and parting with a few rounds let me know. I'm curious on the super mags. I read a little on them and they sounded like they were more trouble the. They're worth: ballistics vs. Cost-per-round = buy something better suited for the job

If any of you guys, with rounds he wants, are going to Hicksville - bring them and can bring them to rp- (or at least a lot closer.) He PM'd me and is going to be through here on Halloween.

Robertc, I may not be making it to Austin for Halloween as I had planned but if you have some cool stuff I could still come and meet you sometime

Charlie, if you don't ID them that's fine too. Acera just sent me a cool little mystery round to ID as he didn't know what it was. It was actually kind of fun micing and researching, then reading about what the round goes to. Either way though, I'll be very happy!

I would be happy to send a 357SM, 445SM, 300BLK, and 280rem to you.
As for your research on the rounds, you are correct. Unless you shoot IHMSA matches or are looking to hunt with a handgun, they are of limited use. Fortunately, I started loading these years ago and stocked components heavily so my costs for these were running around $.38 a shot on the first go round. Now that the brass is being reused and I stocked up on supplies when they were much cheaper, my cost for the 357SM is now roughly $.29 a shot.... not too shabby by today's standards. While it is limited in it's uses, it is a fun firearm to shoot.

I am unsure when I may get to SA again but I definitely need to get some bills in the mail tomorrow and can send them your way if you want to PM me with your info.

I pay about 29 cents a round for my 9....

I figured out how to edit my older post on which rounds I have so I updated my list and added some thanks in there. I had a guy give me a round he said was a 30-30 but the round is marked 32 win... I'm going to have to look a little closer when I get home. He also gave me a 9mm round. Interesting little feller. It has a D.U. rod inside it. Apparently those didn't last too long before the batfe said nope to those... Pretty cool though. I'm going to add another collection of oddball rounds as far as paper shotgun shells, d.u., apit, etc.....

 

[Acera]

Saw your updated list rp-, don't you also have some .50 BMG and at least one .41 Long Colt ??

 

[rp-]

.... Damn.... I thought I was forgetting some... Re-updating now!

I have some old Peters 16ga paper shells with the box if interested

 

[rp-]

I'd definitely be interested in 1 or 2. How many do you have exactly and how much do you want from them

 

[Acera]

Getting to the point we going need to see a picture of what you got rp-.


The collection is getting real respectable

 

[Sparsky]

Rp, just a reminder that you never replied to my PM. I'm actually free this weekend too.

 

[Tony2]

They are free find a way to get them there what are laws for mailing

 

[Acera]

I boxed them up, put a copy of the required label on them. Took it to the UPS store and sent it to him. To say legal, make sure you use the label below, or another approved identifier.

Sparsky, I had the wrong phone number... I texted while I driveded and screwed it up. ed.

Tony, shipping small amounts of ammo usually doesn't cost much, the problem is shipping large amounts as it gets heavy QUICK! It does have to go FedEx, ups, dhl, or lone star (haven't shipped with them yet myself). Just tell them its Ammunition and if they try to give you shit ask for a manager.

Acera, I'll go get some pics for ya

I just picked up a pair of 50 ae rounds.

You just don't appreciate the size until you put it next to a 9mm....

 

[Tony2]

Send me an address and I will get them in the mail

 

[DubiousDan]

Am I correct in assuming you don't have a 41 mag? Also a friend in Virginia says he will send me a 30 Herrett and a 357 Herrett next week.

 

[rp-]

Tony, address sent. Let me know if you want anything for them

Dubi, I do not have a 41 mag, just a 41lc. I have not even ever heard of harrett. Sounds like a wildcat of long obsolete round. I'll look it up though.

The Herrett is a wildcat but I'm not sure if they are considered obsolete. They are chambered in Thompson Center Contenders barrels and are made from 30 30 cases and the barrels are still available. I don't think or at least have never heard of any commercially manufactured ammunition for them. If and when they arrive I'll let you know. In any case I'll get you the 41 mag.
