Default Reloading Haul
I have a friend who is a gun collector. He and I go to gun shows and work on guns together. He was brought into gun collecting by an older gentleman who recently passed away.

The wife of the man who passed away wants the room his gun stuff was in back. We're talking hundreds of guns and books and accessories.

My friend knew I was thinking of getting into reloading, so he brought me all the reloading presses and tools his friend had.


Scales and other tools


Tools


Trays and powder measures


Several different presses. There is a Lee and an RCBS. And at least one other press.


More stuff.


A Lyman press


Plenty of books on reloading

I’m about to have to study a lot of stuff.

You are no longer wanting to get into reloading. You are knee deep in it now!

I think I’ve finally received all the reloading supplies from the family. I have nine Rubbermade boxes of stuff. I dived everything by brand, so all the Lee is in one place, Lyman, RCBS, etc.

I have one question that came up. There was a very old can of 2400 Rifle powder that is a little over half full. What is the proper way to store this and is it any good at this point. If I need to get rid of it, what’s the best way?

It’s a little overwhelming the amount of stuff I now have. Is there anyone in South Florida willing to send a Saturday teaching me what’s useful equipment and what’s not.

I plan on trying to do 9mm and 45 after I figure it out. Also eventually 357 and a few Rifle calibers (30-06, 308 Win, and 303 English for the friend who gave me all this).
