I sent you the whole 50-rd box of vintage Remington .44 Mag ammo, Charles, not just the single round.

Also, I never place any conditions on gifts, but if you shoot this stuff, I hope you'll chronograph some of it and share the results with the board.

That should be real 'enlightning'.

SHIPPED! (reply)

FOG — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:04:36 +0000

All packages shipped, plus one hand-delivered, just across town.

This is, too (reply)

FOG — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:38:19 +0000

And, since the package could use a little [*AHEM*] ballast, it will accompany the W-W "primed shells":

I'm pretty sure it will go BANG!

Not going to get to it today, but I hope to ship all the packages tomorrow.

I will email each recipient when their package is on the way.

UPDATE: All five items are TAKEN (reply)

Thanks!

I do have that 'collector' thing going on at times (reply)

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:46:48 +0000

But I've also shot up more vintage ammunition than you would probably believe.

People seemed to avoid it like the plague, but I always thought it was one of the best deals going, so I took advantage of it many, many times at gun shops and shows.

Coincidentally, the only 'bad' thing that ever happened was the brass split, and the biggest adjustment I ever had to make was to shoot the ammo in a revolver instead of an auto (it was .45 ACP ammo).

Anyway, to get back to the subject, I gather you know about shipping primed brass, so when you email me your address, please include instructions.

In case it's not obvious, I've never done it before, and I'd prefer to stay out of jail.

You got it (reply)

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:37:30 +0000

The only 'condition' is GH.

Which I'm sure yours is.

The brass is primed (reply)

ORM-D marked on the outside will get it here without any problems. I shoot brass that is much older than that. I am still shooting some 1901 30 US (Krag Brass). I don't think brass had problems sitting unfired, unless it is nickel plated. I have had some old nickel plated stuff split on me.

Send it on, for it's rightful destiny. But, if you want somebody to collect it and put it in their shrine, I am good with that also.

I am also shooting a lot of late 50's Norma 44 Mag brass that I got unfired a years or so ago. Works fine. I guess I just don't have a collector's soul.

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:22:23 +0000

And if you still want it, it's A-OK with me if you load and shoot it.

It might be better left alone, though.

I don't know if the phenomenon is confined to old loaded ammo, but I would sort of expect the brass to be prone to splitting after sitting around for so long.

On shipping, I suppose it would ship just like ammo.

If you decide you want the brass even though it's primed and ancient, I would check with the local UPS office in person to find out the rules.

Looking on their website, it seems doable with an "ORD-M" label on the box and very little more, but like I say, I would check with them to be sure.

Let me know if you still want the brass.

You got it (reply)

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:13:13 +0000

Thanks

Brass... I would like it and it will get shot. Unprimed brass can be mailed or sent ups. Primed brass and ammo are different.

I am a 44 Magnum fan and will be happy to have the brass. It will be shot!

...of shipping that 2400. I'll take it.

UPDATE: Mould taken; Two items left (reply)

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:37:22 +0000

The Lyman mould is spoken for.

Items left:
1) Vintage can of 2400
2) Vintage W-W primed "shells"

On the 2400 and the brass, I gather shipping the former is 'complicated', but I will leave both items up for a couple of days just in case.

Meantime, I appreciate the info/feedback on the HazMat issue.

Fivegunner — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:06:06 +0000

you don`t need hazmat for primed brass, but the 2400 would . anyway if I had the brass I would just load and shoot it.

2400 HazMat (reply)

cas — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 06:05:31 +0000

The powder would need to be shipped as Hazmat, and IIRC doing so is NOT just a simple matter of paying the extra $25 fee.

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 05:36:44 +0000

Glen gave it to me, so I'm pretty sure it's the real deal and good-to-go.

All it needs is a good home.

UPDATE: Three items left (reply)

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 05:16:59 +0000

Must go UPS:
1) Full, sealed, unopened can of 2400 (old; price marked "3.90")
2) Full, sealed box of 50 W-W "Empty Primed Shells" (old; price marked "3.70")

Priority Mail-eligible:
3) Lyman double-cavity 429421 mould

All items still pictured above.

I do now ;-) (reply)

FOG — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 05:09:48 +0000

Email me your snail mail address, and I will ship you the box of Perfecast 429421s and the boxed stick of Javelina Alox ASAP.

On a side note, I originally had two boxes of these bullets, but I picked the one in lesser condition in terms of the box itself and loaded them up.

It was a moderate load of 15.0 grs of 2400 with a CCI 350 primer in .44 Magnum cases and a stiff crimp.

I fired 50 of them with ZERO leading problems.

The other 50 went to a friend a few years ago; I'm pretty sure he shot them, and I would guess he got the same results.
