Unwanted reloads

[sjohnston0311]

I've got about 100 rounds of .40 S&W that I reloaded several years ago during my short lived reloading hobby. I no longer own a .40 cal, so they are just taking up room in my safe. What's a good way to get rid of these? I've thought about trying to sell them, but I'm worried about the liability/legal aspect of it. Should I just drop them all in the dud box at the local range?

Give them away to someone reloading .40, they can pull the bullets and reuse the components. Finding someone to admit to .40 is a different story

Give them to another reloader theyll pull them down.

I don't know anyone who reloads... or shoots .40 for that matter. Perhaps I'll make a karma thread in the members section.

 

[TrashcanDan]

Sounds like a good excuse to get one of these.
Shoots .40 and .40 magnum. Or 10mm for all you purists

Brave guy to admit that in this forum.

Wipe your prints off them and bring em into the urban jungle,..

 

[greencobra]

i'm man enough to kick my camo crocs off, sit back, relax and admit i still reload, own and shoot the beloved .40. let me grab my starbucks blonde vanilla latte and accept your accolades for being so brave to fess up on a public forum. let me grab my para p-16 to hold, stroke and polish. one can't be diverse enough now days...am i right?

Is there a "Most hated caliber thread"? Jack.

 

[EddieZoom]

Sadly, a lot of shooters lack the "intestinal fortitude" required to handle the ferocious power of the fo-tay....it's not for everyone ;-)

 

[whacko]

Karma them here on nes. I'm sure someone will take them.

My department tranitioned into the Glock 23 many years ago after S&W stopped manufacturing the 3rd gen semi autos. While I wasn't a fan of it, no one had any issues with it. Some complaints of it being "snappy" were the most common comment heard. 20 years later they still are with it..mainly because it would cost a ton on money to convert to a 9mm caliber.

Problem solved, see my signature. LOL

On a serious note- OP you should give to someone in your area who will pull the bullets.

Those same shooters find ".380 and 22 mag manageable"

 

[LuvDog]

Karma them

10 Special

That implies an even smaller 10mm! (.38 special is more powerful than .38 S&W)

If they shoot fo’tay, they be gay 4 life.

Are you saying you can't just try it with someone else's 'equipment'

Dude, after talking to the grade school kids at the last family get together, apparantly you can do whatever the F you want, and I’m an old racist a**h***.

 

[pastera]

Good
Because a few years ago I was at the range with my brother and a guy showed up with a Hello Kitty AR - thing was fabulous.
Imagine the shame in showing up in hell only to have everyone make fun of you for eternity because you got it from a hot pink kitty cat gun

Kurtz was a rogue Colonel who set up camp a few hundred klicks up the Nung. He and his Montagnard army were operating beyond the pale. Captain Willard wanted a mission and for his sins he got one, terminate the Colonel.

Kurz is German for short

Anyway I shoot 4ghey and do it pretty well
