Left over handloads?

[daved20319]

So you have a goodly supply of ammo for a particular cartridge, then you sell/trade off your only gun chambered for it. Yeah, I know, bad planning, but I'm good at that . In the meantime, you don't have a use for the ammo or the components, and you can't really sell reloads, so short of buying another gun in that chambering, what do you do? And please don't tell me I'm the only one that's ever done this, I feel foolish enough already. Later.

Gift them to a friend who reloads....and don't be offended when they break 'em down and reuse 'em for components.

Folks buy and sell "for components only " often enough.

I personally find that buying another gun is the answer in 99 out of 100 situations I create.

 

[Local Loader]

Most people will just sell the ammo as component use only or if factory made than just sell it.

What is this selling a gun that you talk about? Hopefully it's not contagious.

I've got to ask….

What cartridge are we talking about?

Those are rookie numbers! You gotta pump those numbers UP!

If you're coming up with 99 different times that you've had to buy a new gun, you're just making excuses, just buy the silly thing!

I have learned for a couple reasons, only reload as you need them. This is one of them.

I'm going to need them far into the future. And a LOT of them.

So there's that….

 

[Knobgoblin]

Semi serious note , we get into different types of guns, get out of them ,and eventually get back into certain things after taking a break .

 

[Capn Jack]

Not only the ammunition and components, but the reloading tools, moulds, machine tools and lead pots.

Should have had a boy.

 

[ditchtiger]

There is an easy way to avoid this issue. I have several guns for every caliber I use.

 

[Mark W.]

I have never run into this that I know of. I have bought components for a caliber I ended up not buying. SO those were easy to pass along. I gave up buying firearms I didn't want to keep a long time ago. So I have minimal ammo that doesn't have a current use. And the maybe shoe box I do have of misc. ammo I keep in case I do find something one day

Actually, my whole arsenal is in flux right now, so I have .45 ACP, 10mm auto, and some 6.5 Creedmoor. Traded my .45 on the 10, now it's going away, just too much gun for my needs. And kind of the same with the Creedmoor, I finally accepted the reality that I'll likely NEVER get to shoot 1000 yards, so why have a 1000 yard rifle? Later.

Very true, I'm actually considering adding a 1911 as possible trade for my 10mm .

Just like you would do with surplus cash you have on hand...light it on fire.

Fire fixes everything.

It's kind of a cleansing…
