Pawn shop find

Post by phddan »

Stopped by a pawn shop couple days ago. Seen a few reloading supplies and got to talking with the guy behind the counter.
Found some normal CCI 300 primers, and he had 14 smaller boxes of primers marked CCI NO. 200 Large Rifle. The normal CCI boxes are grey over blue, and the smaller boxes are grey over white, over black. Am wondering how old these old style primers are.
Also found a green see through plastic box of Lee shell holders with 12 normal shell holders, and 2 shell holders that have female threads. Not to sure about the 2, maybe for trimming or something.
And to top it off they had a set of Lee dippers, 13ea, in the box, great condition. Got to reading the slide chart that came with it, and found a date of 1966.
Got the 14 boxes of old CCI's for 20 bucks, the two regular boxes of CCI's for 2 bucks, the measuring dippers for 4.99, and the shell holders for free. :grin:
Of course he got a little generous when the wife picked out a diamond bracelet she just had to have :grin:
Seen a green box of Russian (I think) primers, 200 per, but without reading Russian I had no idea what they were. Should of picked it up just to have as a conversation piece.

You did well.
Most pawn shops near me are rip-offs.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.
