Looks I will finally start reloading

[Tinman]

So me and a friend have been talking about reloading for quiet some time. The main thing was the break even cost. Neither of us have anything other than lots of empty brass. My neighbor calls me up today and says come over here it will be to your benefit. I walk over and see 3large totes and multiple boxes. He says you have any use for this.... he just told me he would bring the tumbler over this week. So I have brass I had no idea existed and some I cant identify. My apologies for the duplicate images

I found these the markings are L C 6 9
What are they

Looks like Lake City 5.56 (.223) brass.

 

[Pogue]

Best neighbor's ever?! lol Congrats on the gear

 

[BowWow]

Yes great neighbors!

Definately not 223. This is almost double the size

My bad...you are correct Sir. I didn't even look at the brass on the tape measure. 30'06?

 

[ncav8tor]

Yep, i believe those are 30'06.

Yep, i believe those are 30'06.

Thank you. I know a guy who likes 30-06. @BlackGun

.264 Win Mag, wild guess from searching on photos and case length.
Updated: Wrong answer, the cartridge in photos are not belted.

 

[Toprudder]

LC markings, and 2.5” case length, I would bet money it is 30-06.

 

[Tinman]

I would like to think I have the best neighbor ever.. he is encouraging me to shoot more and buy bigger guns to disturb the peace in our neighborhood

Sir, you just hit the reloading jackpot.

Now that’s a good neighbor!

I’m sure you’ll never use those .41 or .458 projectiles, just let me know if you need help disposing of them properly.

Components are near as cheap as they’ll ever be, so you may want ask about favorite powders for your most common calibers and start putting up a few pounds when funds allow.

Welcome to a new hobby!

 

[BlackGun]

Yep he hit the jackpot again. I say again as his neighbor is always putting big boy tools on his porch to find. I gotta get his neighbor to buy the house for sale across the street from me so I can get the goodies. Lots of different caliber stuff in those boxes.

7mm, 9mm, 45-70 government, 223, 44-40, 45 LC, 357, and more. Now he can load these 5000 cases in the garage and all the 9mm and 45 in the 5 gallon buckets.

There is no actual break even point as regards reloading. Only thing you break is the bank.

If you think you'll save money reloading, I got a news flash for ya. All you'll do is shoot more.

Best part of reloading is if you're really looking for developing a really great accurate load for your favorite gun. In almost every case, it's possible to assemble ammo that will out perform any factory load. Takes perseverence and experimentation. Welcome to a very addictive side of shooting.

I'm learning that as I'm shopping for my 2nd progressive and just bought 2k projectiles. Good problem to have though, in my eyes haha.

 

[Toprudder]

Well, the OP might actually break even since he is getting most of the stuff to get started from his neighbor. So, for him, it is only going to go downhill from this point.

Just ordered 300blk brass and got a die set and I don't even own a 300blk

You might be hooked. Now if you had said you already have ladders loads worked up to test, then we would really start to worry about you.
