Ammo find at estate sale

[sousana]

Got my hands on a big load of 45LC ammo, various makers, all in all around 1300 rounds, cost me 450 bucks total. Bought that, a new in box instapot the wifes been wanting, and an AGIP gas pump globe. I got one already but for the price I got this one to use as a trade item for a globe I don't have.

So those globes are really a thing ?????? Not just on American Pickers

Pretty sure you are going to notice the difference between the BB and the HMS. If you have not fired the BB before, be sure to have a good hold on the revolver when it goes bang.

If my math is correct you bought that 45 Colt ammo for $17.31/50. That is a super low price especially since the 325gr heavy +P ammo on the BB site cost $53.68/20 rounds and the cowboy ammo runs $26.50/50 according to the photo. The heavy +P stuff is extremely expensive!

I just love auctions and estate sales lol...

You did very very well. And like ajgunner hinted at- those Buffalo Bore loads are warm.

That's a fact, Jack! Holy cow! 325 grs at 1325 fps. Definitely a quick way to disassemble a Smith.

American Pickers has caused a lot of things to be big things. It seems I'm always running into people who call themselves "pickers" now.

Nice catch on the 45 Colt ammo!

Whew.
I bet it would be something in a Thomson Contender..

What in the world are you going to shoot the BB in? I would think that load would take a lot of revolvers apart and possibly injure/kill the shooter.

Not only real, but extremely sensitive to bumps in the road. If you hit an antique mall somewheres you can find loads of globes going from 20 bucks to 5000 bucks or more.

It was sort of a one shot deal, all or nothing, but I do have a Thompson contender somewhere abouts.

I've got a freedom arms 454 that I've used the BB out of before, same with a couple ruger alaskans in 454.

A couple of years ago my Dau texted me, Estate Sale Next Door,
Entire room of Ammo.
Headed over, lots of Ammo! Super Expensive!
Wealthy Folks, had a lot of expensive things for sale.
Last Night- I found out the Down Dude had some neat cars including a Gullwing Mercedes!
Wish I had known that! Can I PLEASE go into the Garage and look at your Gullwing?

I usually get my 45LC ammo from a dealer at gunshows, 50 rds FMJ for 22 bucks. At the last one prior to the pandemic I had that gut feeling that it was gonna hit the fan so I purchased all the dealers 45acp, 9mm, 38spl, 357, 40S&W and 45LC. Ended up having to run up to the local storage locker location to rent a uhaul truck as it was way too much ammo to put in my car. I did manage to get it all home and put away before the wife showed up so to this day she has no idea I came home with thousands of rounds lol. At the show I did buy her 5 red lipsticks she likes and a silver necklace so she didn't really question me too much.
