In the last two years, I have found more old reloading components, than I have in many years. So many people dug out old stuff and put it up on the internet, with the shortage of components.
A while back I found a guy who had three boxes of old Nosler bullets and a couple of boxes of old Remington bullets. The main reason I bought the bullets, is the guy had a box of Nosler Zepedo bullets. I have been a Nosler fan since the mid 80s, I don't ever remember hearing of Zepedo bullets. So I got a box of those and a couple boxes of old Partitians. Then two boxes of old Remington Core Lokt bullets.
I also managed to pick up an old box of CCI 200 primers. Getting single boxes of primers turned out to be harder to do in the past two years. Many guys were selling 70 to 80 year old primers in big lots and acting like they were 7 month old primers and wanting near current prices on new primers. I was not going to buy more than a couple boxes of any type of old primer, then definitely was not going to use them. I finally managed to find a guy who would sell me one box of old primers for the collection.
I also picked up some old 38 Special brass, then some semi old 38 Special brass and loaded 357 Mag. ammo.
