sad...

Postby sgruenhagen44 on Thu May 02, 2013 4:53 pm

So I think I am just going to buy a hundred or so .44 mag factory winchester rounds because that way I can still shoot and finally have some extra brass. It's sad when you have to resort to that to shoot. I have plenty of powder and primers and even have been able to find projectiles here and there but wow. Anyone see any .44 mag brass for sale anywhere?

I have some once fired from my S&W revolver. Maybe 150 rounds? I will look tonight. Edit: yup, over 150.

I am in Maple Grove for work - that's as close as I get to Rockford.

I might have some range pickups. Probably not enough to warrant a trip over here (I have them in my "other" bucket). Was hanging onto them for the jar head, but he's not reloading yet anyway. :lol:

I have some .44 mag cases you can have. I only kept them thinking someone could use them. I don't know where Rockford is but if you are in the Edina area, you are welcome to stop by and get them. If not PM me your address I'll mail them to you. I'm not currently at home so I'm not sure how many I have, but you're welcome to all I have.

It is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.

This just shows what a Great Group of people we have in this forum. Everyone willing to help each other out. The way things SHOULD BE, rather than everyone always trying to screw over another in need, just for the "almighty" buck! I believe in capitalism. Those that owns businesses do things to make a living. Me having a few pieces of brass laying around, that I have no intention of using, would be far better used by someone that needs it. I once promised another very nice board member on here, that helped me greatly, that if I were given the chance, I would "Pay Forward" his generocity when I was in a time of need. I am doing my very best to live up to my word.

I believe society would be far better off, if more tried this practice. If it didn't cost you much, or nothing at all, why not let someone that will use it, have it, and put it to good use. One day, that person, just might help you, or someone else!

I might have a half dozen too. I work near 55 and 169. So not terribly far from Rockford. I will check this weekend.

I probably have 50 so cases I would part with as well. Mixed.

If you make it up Anoka way on weekdays, or Princeton on weekends, you are welcome to them.
