I could really use your help - The Firearms Forum

dedlegs · 07-12-2011, 12:09 PM

I used to know all sorts of reloaders. I have 2 young grandsons that I would like to build cartridge boards for as a present and something to remember me by. I have been trying to locate someplace that will sell me just 2 each amo and bullets, NO Primers for as many rifle and pistol shells a I can get. I purchased a bullet remover and have taken apart a few rounds already however I need plenty more. I'm looking for 50cal, 44/40 45/70 308s etc. Can anyone help me? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

joncutt87 · 07-12-2011, 01:07 PM

Cheaperthandirt.com has dummy 50 cal rounds. They also have dummy 20mm rounds as well.

gdmoody · 07-12-2011, 02:26 PM

Let us know exactly what "bullets" or cartridges you want or need and I am sure some one or several people will help you. I would be glad to load you up some dummies (without primers) if I knew what you needed.

woolleyworm · 07-12-2011, 02:56 PM

I'll second Mr Moody, post up what you're in search of and I don't mind loading up a few if I have them on hand.

pkcgbifaid · 07-12-2011, 03:20 PM

I can get my hands on several different chamberings... the 50 BMG I don't have access to and the 44/40 is not something I think we have laying around. But a lot of others we have laying around. I too will offer to load you up some if you let us know what all you are looking for.

medalguy · 07-13-2011, 12:04 AM

dedlegs pm me your information. I have some .50 inert rounds I made up for a display with my Jeep. They are fired brass with a ball bullet loaded into the case, no primer or powder. I'll send you two. I also have other calibers I can load for you, what do you need?

dedlegs · 07-13-2011, 06:42 PM

You people are just GREAT!! I never thought I'd get an answer so quick and people would be so gererous. I thank you all very much. I"m not sure how to answer people direct yet but I'll do it. Thanks again Dave

jack404 · 07-13-2011, 06:58 PM

Just post up a list of what you would like in this thread. We can reply back as to what each of us can cover.

gdmoody · 07-13-2011, 09:57 PM

dedlegs, I got your PM and it has been answered with a list of dummies I will do for you!

By The Way - welcome to what is, without a doubt, the best forum on the web!

Airdale · 07-14-2011, 08:00 AM

Dave,

I can make up some .308 and 9mm if you need. Just let me know.

gdmoody · 07-14-2011, 01:53 PM

Hey guys, I got a pm from dedlegs last night and I told him I would send him some dummies. I told him to post the other stuff he wanted and I was sure that some other folks would jump in to help him. Here is what I am going to provide him:

Pistol Rounds
5.7X28
.380
9mm
.38 special
.357 Magnum
.40 S&W
.44 Magnum
.45 Colt
.45ACP

Rifle rounds
.204 Ruger
.223
7mm.08
.308
30.06
45/70

I can provide you with a couple of 17Mach2 and 17HMR rounds but they will be live rounds since they are rimfire and I can't remove the primers!!

JLA · 07-14-2011, 02:44 PM

dang george you reload almost everything i do.. I can toss him a couple 7.62X54Rs, 7X57 mausers, .480 rugers, 8X57 mausers. and maybe a couple others ill hafta look..

dedlegs · 07-14-2011, 06:12 PM

To all my new found reloading friends. Thank You, Thank You so much for your help. I have been in contact with George as you can read and could use what ever I can get. I also like to get hold of some shotgun shells. My brother game me some cartridges and some low brass shot shells. He gave me a couple of 4/10 shells some 12ga and 20ga low brass shots. At present I have 22s, 22mags, 32s, 9mm,38special 1-380 could use another, 30/30s. 243s. I would like to get the following , besides anything else anyone can send.

221, 41cal, 40cal, 700 weatherbys, 17cal, 222, 22/250 50cal, 20mm, I don’t know if anyone has any, but I used to own a German 10mm shotgun. It had “brass shells” and I believe rim fire. 35cal. Ak47s 44/40s and old rim fire shells that can be spared.

If you load your own shot gun shells. I would like to get my hands on any 10ga, 12ga 16ga and 20ga shells low and high brass, not loaded. I just purchased a bullet remover off of ebay so if you don’t reload, I can take any shots apart and dry fire the primers. “Except for the 50cals & 20MM. Don’t want to blow my hands off. Hey guys, you are the Best. I can’t thank you enough.
Dave

dedlegs · 07-15-2011, 09:54 AM

To all you great people that are helping me, Thank You
I believe I have sent you all a PM informing you of my email address so we can share personal info. Please post what ever you can help with on this thread so items don't get duplicated. Again, Thank you so much for all your efforts
Best Regards to all of you
Dave

pkcgbifaid · 07-15-2011, 11:26 AM

From the list above I can provide the 222 Rem and the 22/250. I can't do the 17 HMR or the 17 Mach 2, but I can provide a 17 Rem.

Also on hand for 22 Hornet, 218 Bee and 250 Savage if you are interested.

Wildalaska · 07-15-2011, 12:13 PM

Email me at wildwestguns@alaska.net with your snail addy and I will mail you, at the very minimum, a 50 Alaskan dummy. I may have .455 Webley dummies too, have to dig in my box.

I may have also some 500 Nitro or suchlike brass lying around. The only one I know for sure in my addled stae is 50 Alaskan

WildimsurroundedbydummiesAlaska ™©2002-2011

ckelley · 07-19-2011, 09:28 AM

I reload for 38 special, .40 S&W, 223 Rem, 243 Win, 25-06 Rem, 270 Win, and 30-06 Springfield. Let me know if you need any of these calibers.

jonboyc · 07-19-2011, 10:37 AM

I have a couple live 45/70 rounds I can send you. I'll leave it to you to set them up the way you want. Just pm me your mailing address and I'll send them right out.

dedlegs · 07-21-2011, 04:44 PM

HI Again Everyone! I received a PM from a member telling me to expect a package in a few days. It was then that I realized I may have been misunderstood and wanted to make my needs clear. So, I'm sending another PM to explain. My Best to all of you Dave

BETH · 07-21-2011, 05:27 PM

welcome Dave

dedlegs · 07-22-2011, 04:14 PM

pkcgbifaid said he is going to send 2 each of the following
17 Remington
218 Bee
22 Hornet
222 Remington
22/250
250 Savage
Thank You so Much for your help

dedlegs · 07-27-2011, 08:55 AM

Hello All!! Update. pkcgbifaid sent the cartridges he promised. Thanks So Much! I have purchased the black material I'm using to cover the back panel, the plywood I need to create the back panels, the material for the shelves, stain, glue and I'm about ready to put everything together. To date, I have 2 ea of the following. I should have asked for 3 as I want to make an extra one for TFF to raffle off. That is if everyone likes the ones I make :-) Back to the list. 17 Remington, 218 Bee, 22 Hornet, 222 Remington, 22/250, 250 savage, 22s, 32s, 22mags, 9mm, 30/30s, 243s I have one 380 but not in good shape. If anyone has a couple or 3 good ones, I could use them. And a couple 30cal carbine shells. I have a few shotgun shells but could use a bunch more. I have checked on line and found those 50 cal BMGs are a little costly. Who ever can send them, I will make sure you get paid for them. Please. So, what ever you can send that is not above, Please Do. Again, I thank you for all your help
Best Regards Dave

Marlin T · 07-27-2011, 01:03 PM

Sounds like a very cool project, I hope you'll take some pics for all of us to see.
Good luck Dave!
