selling out question?

[JFB]

I have not enjoyed my collection going on several decades now and considering selling some. I really enjoyed the reloading aspect of shooting so besides having the dies for each rifle/caliber, I have a good amount of reloaded ammo.

given this stuff was made up decades back, most at the maximum charge, should I sell/include it with the rifles?

I guess I could have one last big "bang" and empty the brass, but the calibers have exceeded the recoil tolarance of my bones!

I won't shoot other people's reloads and I don't like other people shooting mine. I say you put a sandbag between your shoulder and rifle and shoot 'em up.

ship anything you don 't want to me along with correct firearm for shooting it up, I will even clean your guns good when I am though and send back your guns you want to keep and not just go ahead and give to me because you are such a fine and benevolent friend to me.

I picked my "least" rifle to start with. the one I liked the least, has the least recoil and the least reloads.
10 rounds of 375win through a steel butplate Marlin and I need the horse liniment and a hydrocodon.

It was a sad experance, my first rifle to leave the safe with intent of not returning

I hereby nominate you to shoot up my supply of .404 Jeffery and .416 Rigby ammo for my Ruger #1 Tropicals. Ammo is all factory loads. My 77 year old shoulder does not appreciate the privilege any anymore. :roll:

'Decades back, maximum charges'? I would try to dispose of this ammo yourself, either shooting off, dismantling it, or possibly let a friend/relative shoot it under your supervision.

Even if a problem wasn't related to someone shooting your ammo, they may well put the blame on it. I have loaded for others a few times. I keep the charges right at the mid levels for those rounds.

Liability wise, you can sell with the stipulation "for salvage/dismantling ONLY" and get a written & signed acknowledgement.

I agree with 427mach1 and others. Too much liability in shooting other people's reloads. Enjoy shooting it yourself (with extra padding) or dispose of as salvage/scrap and get a signature on the disclaimer.

thanks for verifing what I should have known.

Here's another option.
Shoot up the ammo using a Caldwell Lead Sled. It'll absorb the recoil with just 2 bags of lead shot on it. I've helped a bunch of friends zero their rifles with mine.
