Selling 45 colt, 44, 45-70, 44-40, primers, and misc reload supplies

I'm helping a relative clean up her late husband's reloading bench and she wants to clear the space. The firearms are already willed to relatives that don't reload and I personally don't reload these calibers so I'm going to test the waters here for interest before I painstakingly list all the individual items in the classifieds. Really would like to just sell all to one person to minimize driving. If there is interest then I will make a more detailed list of all the items with pictures.

There is a collection of bullets(over 1k commercial cast: Southern, Alpha Bravo), dies(Lee and RCBS), molds(Lee), brass(new and some of it already primed) for 45 colt, 45-70, 44 mag, 44-40, and a few boxes of bullets(Hornady, Sierra) and brass for 243 win. Also have approximately 2-3k each of large pistol and larger rifle primers.

There's also some once fired brass as well as home cast bullets but I have not had the time to look through and sort everything. Could just melt them down and recast to your liking.

If one of you is a 45 colt or lever gun fan then this might be a deal for you.

EDIT:
Location is Harford County. Would prefer to sell in a batch but will part out for local trips.

I am interested.

I'd be interested also. Where are you located and are you looking to sell it all in one lot or seperately?

Also interested, primarily for the 45 colt and 45-70.

Coincidentally, yesterday I was at the range practicing with my 45 colt lever gun.

Updated and will send PM's.

Thanks

I'd be in for 45 colt and 44 mag if anything is left.

I am inteested in the primers and 243 paraphernalia.

Interested in the entire package.

I have need for most of it. And for the rest, it is an excuse to purchase a couple of new firearms.

I would be interested in a package deal and can drive to Harford Co. to pick it up.

i LIVE in Harford County.

ok thanks for all the replies.

Give me some time to compile the list of items and I'll send it out. It's taking longer than I realized to go through it and sort out the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We are all interested

On MDS you could post a thread testing the interest in buying an Asperly Aimless and somebody would be interested, plus replies from people who own them, ballistic tables, and reloading advise.

Put me on the list as well. Please pm me. I’m interested in the entire lot, and have no problem driving to you. Thanks

That was amusing.

I've been here only sporadically for the last few years and had forgotten the zeal that can be generated from something that is seemingly minor.

Tomorrow I will get to visit the location of the items and make a better inventory. I probably should have waited to post until I had a full accounting of the items so as to not get anyone hyperventilating.

I finally worked my way through 95+% of my deceased relative's basement and compiled a list of items.

I am asking for $900 for the widow's benefit and 500 small rifle primers for my efforts, or $950 for all if no one has small rifle primers. The market sucks for primers but maybe someone has a few extra. My own reloading has dead ended due to no small rifle primers. I'd like to roll a few of mine own in the deceased's honor since he was the person who taught me to reload. There are 5500 large pistol/rifle primers listed below and much more 45acp then I first realized.

All items were stored in a cool dehumidified basement work room for their entirety.

Primers:
1000 WLRM large rifle magnum
400 WLR large rifle
1000 CCI(#200) large rifle
2500 WLP large pistol
600 CCI(#300) large pistol

Powder:
1 lb winchester-231 unopened

Live Ammo(commercial):
44-40 225gr lead flat Magtech cowboy action loads 50 cartridges

Live Ammo(reloads are free with whole package):
44 wcf (44-40) 50 rounds

The deceased was a careful reloader but I cannot vouch for what I did not make. I trusted him and often reloaded with him but you could always pull the bullets if in doubt.

Brass:
97 starline 45LC primed (~60 are new brass, rest are probably once fired and reprimed)
75 starline 44-40 new unprimed
25 primed 44mag new brass
25 Hornady 243 new unprimed
a mix of misc brass of varying quality and caliber (45acp, 30-30, etc.. free)

Reloading dies sets:
RCBS 0.243 win LF 3 dies
Lyman 30-30 win 2 dies
Lyman 45 acp 3 dies
Lyman 44-40 3 dies
Lee 243 win 3 dies

*I have the box for a 45 long colt die set but cannot locate the actual dies. If I find them then I will ship for free or meet up. No charge for them either way as I did not include them in the package price.

Misc shell holders of varying condition.

Lyman T mag 6 hole turret. The original big orange beast. The deceased taught me to reload with this press. It worked fine a few years ago and still feels like it locks up fine. I'd keep this one myself but I have other presses.

Lee ingot mold and dipper
Lee Pro 4-20 melter

At least 10lbs mixed scrap bullets and lead for molds

Free add on: C&R Wax bullets and drop in cases(44's) for 209 primers (candrwax.com)

Bullets were counted as accurately as possible and in some cases numbers were estimated by weight.

Pictures to follow.
