Reloading, anyone?

Care to see what a half-million pounds of reloadable brass looks like?  And that is Pounds with a "p" -- not rounds.

I don't know how cartridge cases bulk out at that scale, but by weight  the government is peddling something like 500 pickup loads of the stuff.  I would need a larger tumbler.

And we must add a tribute to to the firearms enthusiasts who stymied another one of the Great Ideas from the mind of His Obamaness. The auction notice clearly states: "Mutilation is not required."

TMR group buy?

If they were all .30-06, (about 32 per pound) we'd be dealing with something like 16 million rounds, so the count on this mixed bag would be much higher. That's an awful lot of crimped primers to punch out.:)

(It's always a good idea to check my arithmetic, but even if I err it's still lot of primers. )
