$30 SCORE ! ! - T/C Today
« on: March 12, 2010, 09:42:20 AM »
"Timing", is EVERYTHING - THAT'S for sure.  :o

I was cruising a few funshops, today - on the prowl for some shooting supplies for my .54 capper and my .50 rocklock.

At the second stop, I was able to grab a new small/brass flintlock pan priming flask for $5   :)  , but a box/20 of pre-lubed .54 T/C 360gr MaxiHunters cost me $10.  :(

The THIRD stop, though - is where I hit the jackpot.
When I walked in, I didn't see much in the way of ML supplies, but asked anyway.
I'm glad I asked.................

He had several box/20's  of pre-lubed .54 cal T/C 540gr MaxiHunters hidden away - that had some very old price stickers on them.
The bottom line, I bought every box he had left (10) for $30 !     ;D

The lube on the NOS bullets has dried to a yellow cake, since the boxes aren't airtight - but the caked lube flicks right off with a thumbnail, and I was able to easily lube the first box with BoreButter manually.

With those Heavy Betty's, I'm ready for Elephant !   ;)

     I gotta agree with the recoil shield tip.  My first Renegade was a .54 and I shot those big'un's....ouch!!!  Unfortunately I got rid of it before I tired a PRB load(shame on me).
