Yesterday I bought out an estate and ended up with about 800lb of bullets. About half of the stash was swaged 45 bullets and the rest older jacketed bullets, mostly Herters.
MOST of the jacketed stuff is 6mm in the 85-100 grain range. Flat base bullets so not long range material really but good plinking bullets. Not much resale value, but for a buy like me that just likes to shoot it keeps me shooting on the cheap.
Now I gotta decide what to get. I don’t currently own a 6mm rifle. My initial thought was to find an older 6mm Remington, however I’ve been wanting to build another 6.5 Grendel and have been collecting parts for that. I don’t have the barrel yet so it wouldn’t be a big shift in direction to build a 6mm arc instead.
Decisions decisions….or as Tommag would say “what did you do that for dumbass?”
