A lot of 243 Projectiles

[murica79]

I bought about 1,500 243 projectiles about 5 years ago. It's a mix of red tips, fmj, green tips and some hollow points. Without knowing the brands, what's the best way to sell these?

Separate by type, and weight and feature. (HPBT, BT, etc)

Red Tip - Weight 1
Red Tip - Weight 2

Green Tip - Weight 2
etc...

I see the inertia tool, are they pulls? Folks will want to know that, or whether they are seconds, or new material when they are considering them.
Also, for your best disposal value, sort them into like objects, further breaking them down grouping by weight, giving the count of each unique object, many buyers don't want a Hodge Podge of styles.
Before you price them, post a quality picture of one for each type you have and I'm sure folks here will be able to identify makers for you.
Just my thoughts, good luck.

I'd say try for 50% of what they'd go for new. Definitely separate though.

Ah, good point. I'll probably just do a simple conversion grams to grains too.

The inertia tool is there as I was thinking of giving it away with the projectiles. They're all new material. Somehow, it was oddly satisfying sorting through so many rounds.

Randoms which I can probably give away since there are so few:

I guess that would still help me recoup the original cost. Is 50% a number I should go for, even though these were never used?

mirrors the peace I feel while handloading

That guy had it going on. You can also get about 40,000 primers into one glass pickle jar.









Lol, yea, don't do that.

Just a guesstimate. You don't know the manufacturer and I'm guessing possibly mixed lots.

Good point. Thanks DizzyJ!

LOL! It would be totally safe if the brine was still there!
