  1. Those second primers are from a relatively new company, White River. At one time the seconds were listed as hard cups, then possibly missing compound, now listed as "Less than .01 % Low Charge"...

    I've been very tempted over the past several months to buy some of the small rifle/pistol seconds and use for basic plinking ammo but haven't ordered yet. 

    Personally for the Large Rifle primers I would pay the extra $3/k for the proven Fiochi primers if I was in need of them (note this requires buying 6k vs 5k). $3/k for me isn't worth the chances of getting a bunch of duds. The price differential is quite a bit different for the other sizes though.

  2. New in box (I opened it to get a picture of the unit) Bluegrass Living Propane Gas Vent Free Blue Flame Gas Space Heater With Blower and Base Feet - 30,000 BTU, T-Stat Control

    Model# B30TPB-BB

    https://www.bluegrassliving.com/products/bluegrass-living-propane-gas-vent-free-blue-flame-gas-space-heater-with-blower-and-base-feet-30-000-btu-t-stat-control-model-b30tpb-bb

     

    Located in Columbia and can meet around the area. PENDING MEET Asking $140 or possibly trade for following items:
    Small pistol primers
    Small rifle primers
    Certain rifle powders - N135, N140, TAC, Match Rifle
    Glock 44 22lr magazines

     

     

  3. This is all range pickup, roughly sorted through and any obvious bad cases tossed out. There is no guarantee on quantity (total or individual calibers) - common calibers will have higher counts.

    This bucket weighs in at 45+#s per multiple checks on my scale. It is all a mix of brass and small amount of nickel plated - steel cases thrown out. Brass is dirty and not processed in any way.

    Bucket not included, bring your own or I can find a box to dump this in (my other buckets are full so need this emptied for use).


    $50 picked up in Columbia. May trade for .224 or 9mm bullets. Price is under brass scrap prices which is the next step if not able to offload this to a reloader.

    This went to the scrap yard. Ad closed.

     

  4. 130+ pieces of .300 Win Mag brass (139 counted but rounded down).

    This is all believed to be once fired - most of it was in the factory box/holders when received. Brass is tumbled in corn cob but otherwise has not been processed in any way.

    Breakdown is:
    79 PPU brass
    37 R-P brass
    16 FC nickel
    7 Barnes brass

    The cartridge holder shown is not included, and was used to provide a good photo of the headstamps. All brass will be loose in the ziplock.

    Asking $55 shipped, OBO. May trade for other reloading components.

  5. My house was missed by maybe a quarter mile - we saw some clouds rotation but not the actual funnel. No damage here, but walk a couple hundred yards north and it changes instantly.

    Roads out are blocked by lines and trees. I spent a couple hours with a saw helping a buddy around the corner who was in the path and will be back over there when the sun comes up.

    Hope everyone else made it through safely!

    Kinda wanted to try this.

    I've never had the Gold which is why I bought it, but haven't brought myself to drink it yet so decided to post on here and see what happens. I will drink original Blanton's occasionally but as stated prefer BT/ER or even 4 Roses single barrel. 

  7. Blanton's Original - sealed bottle with bag/box. T stamped horse if you are trying to make a set. $110

    Blanton's Gold - sealed bottle with bag/box. T stamped horse if you are trying to make a set. $260

     

    I bought these because they were available but I'd rather drink normal Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare, and will consider trades for either of those.

    Located in Columbia, can meet around the area. Must be 21+.

  8. This is all range pickup, roughly sorted through and any bad cases tossed out. There is no guarantee on quantity (total or individual calibers) - common calibers will have higher counts.

    This bucket weighs in at 39.6 pounds on my scale but calling it 38# to account for the bucket and any unusable cases. It is all a mix of brass and very small amount of nickel plated.

    Bucket not included, bring your own or I can find a box to dump this in (my other buckets are full so need this emptied for use).


    $40 picked up in Columbia. May trade for .224 or 9mm bullets.

     

    Bucket includes:
    9mm
    .40s&w
    10mm
    .45 ACP
    .38 SPL
    5.7
    .223/5.56
    .224 Valk.
    .243
    .270
    6.5 Creedmoor - uncounted but a good bit, 1 bag full plus at least the same amount loose in the bucket
    30-30

    30-06
    .300 Sav.
    300 Win Mag - 60 pieces in ammo sleeves plus a few loose in the bucket

  9. Henry Holsters Flint compact AIWB/IWB for a Glock 48/43/43x.

    Has a single DCC Mod 4 1.5" belt clip, I removed the second one when I received the holster and don't know where it went. 

    Pictures show exactly what you will receive - holster with single belt clip, with Modwing (claw) installed, and adhesive velcro installed for use with a pad/wedge.

    Asking $65 shipped.

    I looked into this unit. 
    My concern is that the rechargeable battery is not user replaceable. This fact is not evident from their website or the owner’s manual. I inquired through the website and learned that if/when the battery dies after the one year warranty it will cost $100 to “repair.”

    That was enough for me to stay away. 

    Valid concern, but it actually is replaceable it appears. There are pictures on Snipershide and elsewhere showing the Garmin open with battery, and suitable battery options are available online to replace.

    The chronograph can also be powered from a USB power bank if needed while operating.

    Thanks for the write up and share.  Please update this thread if you have anything to add.  That is super cool.  But being a cheap bastard….. I could shoot my prochrono and pay CE to fix at least three more times before I near this price and somewhat masochistic the tedious load & setup chrono/tripod is filling my needs 😁

    I understand that, the price gave me a bit of a pause as well at first but I decided the Garmin was worth the price over other options. The ease of setup is ridiculous compared to any of the other chronograph options I am aware of, and no other accessories are required to make this work reliably. 

    I have an inexpensive Shooting Chrony F1 that is functional but I have never liked the setup hassle. It has a couple of bullet marks but I thankfully never hit anything critical.

    I almost bought a Magnetospeed v3 mid-summer 2023 but knew it would also be somewhat of a hassle each time, although it at least could be done behind the firing line instead of needing a cold range. I am very glad I waited!

     

  12. I assume others saw the Garmin chronograph announcement a few months ago, but I haven't seen a thread on this forum about it. Maybe someone will see this who was unaware or had ignored threads on other sites.

     

    I started to order one back in October but decided to wait for some additional end user results, and throughout the past few months reviews have been glowing. I finally ordered one last week, had it in hand in two days, and have made a couple of range trips to test it out.

    Everything you may have read online is legit - this chronograph is ridiculously easy to use and flat out works with no hassle. I've tested multiple rifle and pistol loads now and as long as the Gamin is pointed roughly in line with the shooting direction it will capture the shot.

    The unit is GoPro size so highly portable, and with the ease of setup (point in the general direction of fire, press a couple of buttons to power on and start a session) I intend to have this with me on every range trip going forward.

    It will be fantastic to capture velocity changes as outside temperatures fluctuate through the seasons. Previously I only chronographed loads at initial workup due to the hassle of setting up a traditional chrono so am missing lots of data that will now be easily available with this Garmin.

     

    It's not cheap, but neither are any of the other options. It will be interesting to see how and if Garmin evolves this chronograph but this first iteration is a winner so far.

  13. More craft sale leftovers.

    Four of these are locally cut cedar planks but there is one store bought pressed wood and aluminum sign in the mix (darker wood and white welcome).

    The shorter boards are around 40" tall, the two taller ones around 52".

    We also have four extra cedar planks that have not been decorated yet, and my wife can decorate however you would want. Two are around 3' and the other two are around 4' tall - these are not pictured.

    Asking $20 each picked up in Columbia.

     

    I am labeling these as picture 1 (2 boards) and picture 2 (3 boards), start left to right 1-2 and 3-5 if you want to claim a number.

  14. Leftovers from a recent craft sale my wife had, figured would list here and see if can get rid of a few more.

    7 snowmen made from locally cut cedar logs. No screws used, wooden dowels inserted/glued into each piece, and sealed with polyurethane. 

    The snowmen are all around 20" tall.

    Asking $20 each picked up in the Columbia area. 

     

    I am labeling these as picture 1 (3 snowmen) and picture 2 (4 snowmen), start left to right 1-3 and 4-7 if you want to claim a number.
