I was going through the boxes of Garage sale stuff I got a couple of months back. I have the following that I have no good use for:

About 25 cases fireformed to .25 Gibbs

About 20 30-06 cases necked for fireforming to .25 Gibbs

25 or 30 .257 Roberts cases mixed headstamps some commercial some fireformed from LC brass.

A box of 18 loaded 8X56 Mannlicher-Schoenauer 125 gr. spire point

10 .264 Win Mag cases

About 10 mixed headstamp cases in various stages of forming to 7mm Mashburn Magnum.

Obviously I have no idea how many times these were loaded. The 8mm does have loading data on the box. Available for the price of postage to those that can use them. This just scratches the surface. I've found a bunch of brass in various stages of forming and fireforming for God knows what. I suspect for .270 Gibbs and 6.5 Gibbs according to my caliper. Also close to 200 once fired 30-06 brass that I'm saving for a rainy day. RD
