My wife's Aunt's Uncle was a bench rest shooter and had a several rifles for bench rest shooting. They all went to family up in Minnesota. They were beautiful guns, one had a stock made out of some kind of wood from Japan, but bench rest shooting has never been my thing so no loss. However. Apatently no one was interested in his reloading stuff so it was offered to me if I would just come get it. I reload .45, .44-40, .357, .45LC, and maybe another caliber I am forgetting on a 450.

Most of this stuff is older then I am and a lot is .22 valiber which I have no knowledge of. What I can't use I will offer up here. But I need some vlue as to ehat dome of this is and if its even worth trying to sell or even give away.

There are several bullet molds, lots of bullets, weaver scope rings, old factory round boxes, 2 reloaders, tons of old powder cans, and I am only about halfway through it. So here are the pics.

I think the Hoppes cleaning kit with the contents pictured could bring about $300.00

Lot of neat stuff there. Go online and type in Ideal bullet mold chart and that will help you Identify the molds you have. About 30.00 to 50.00 with the handles.

Apparently I'm not seeing what you're seeing. What items make that worth $300?

You may want to look at the (castboolit) site as much of what you have is regularly sold there.

The Speer plastic capsulls are for snake shot loads.
The plastic speer cases are practice shells. They require a plastic bullet that Speer makes to go along with it. Projectile is propelled by a primer only and meant for close range paper punching. These require no tools to assemble.

If 1940 ever comes back, you'll be right at home.
