Short Version - $50 Shipped. 120 once fired, Federal Premium .308 Win brass from the 80's, back when they were the best. These are de-primed, and wet tumbled in stainless steel media, but NOT resized.
Long Version - These were given to me back in the early 90's by the captain of the USAF Rifle Team when we were in the same squadron at Nellis AFB. The boxes have codes from the 80s, so I think he'd been saving them for a while. Uncle Sugar bought him all the Federal Premium he wanted and he gave me a couple full ammo cans of his once fired empties. I realize I have more remaining unfired than I'll ever use and am trying to downsize a bit. I know there have been a lot of changes in Federal over the years, but back then, all of my handloading buddies thought Federal were the best. These are from the time before they started putting any sealant on the primers, and the primers were brass colored. I post some subsequent pics of those I took before polishing them.
They are now super clean both inside and outside, including the primer pockets.
About 25 or so of these have a small little dent, and I'll post a picture of one. I reckon the ones with the little dent must be from Jay's M1A, as he competed with both one of those and a military version of the Rem M700. These 120 are all just once fired, but I have loaded plenty of the others he gave me and once they are fired again in my rifles the little dents completely disappear. I tried to take a pic of where one of the dents used to be in fired round but it just can't be seen.
Neither the original Federal Premium boxes, nor the loading trays in the pictures are included in the sale. All 120 of these will fit in a small flat rate box for shipping.
Only two attachments per post so I'll put subsequent posts with pictures of the stuff I talked about.
Cheers,
Rex
