Hey fellas, is this also a thread where I can ask questions about this?
If so, my question is, is there a minimum amount of stuff that you must add to the box? I see guys are adding what appears to be some very nice items and several at the same time from the same person. I'm no cheap skate but I fear as the new guy I might be viewed as having robbed the place or something. So I guess another question is, how do you keep your take and donation respectable? Chad |

I just put in what I have extra or bought and don’t use for whatever reason. I also kinda go based on what I take out as to how much to put back in. YMMV.

Got the package this morning, here's what I took/added:
I took: bag of stripper clips, large recapping pins x5, the 2x 458 socom brass, and the plastic cartridge box. I'm adding: 54x 30-06 brass and some assorted projectiles. UPDATE: I added about 100 .224 projectiles, I can't remember the exact name of them but they are 50 grain fragmenting hollow points. I'll post an update when I get home and then ship it out tomorrow before I get to work. |

Got the box in Friday, will go through it tonight. It had some holes in it and looked generally horrible, but nothing seems to be missing. I'll ship it in a new box, I don't think this one has any life left.

I have gone through the box, will post an update with photos. I had some personal business come up and I will be delayed a couple of days in shipping.
|

Alright, apparently I left out a set of RCBS 7mm Mag dies. This was totally by accident as I have no use for them.
How shall I proceed? |

20 round trips, well done OP and everyone who has participated.
|
|
Wow, I used the old box as a liner in the new box, taped up the bags of 9 and 40, and taped up the box pretty well.
They must have played soccer with that box! |
|
Yeah its not the first time, its ok. I just hate it the 140 year old lady at the PO ripped my ass in front of 30 people when I picked it up
|
|
Shame when people don't know the rules for their job. I don't think I coulda resisted an "educational experience"...

Just got it and ready to ship, just need address emailed. The box is getting tired, but the wife has fresh ones at her work. It looks like it was in a truck with bad shocks for a long journey. I took pics and will post them when I get more time.
I grabbed the 30.06 brass, the .50BMG piece of brass, and the small RCBS decap pins. Since I not only don't color within the lines, I don't read directions too well either. I didn't have much for reloading/cases/ brass, so I threw in 4 handfuls of cleaned and mixed .45ACP brass to keep the theme. I also added some goodies that I KNOW will find a good home. If the next person doesn't want the stuff and I get in trouble, just remove the items and put them in your junk bin. That is where I got them from, my junk bin. If the next recipient is an SKS fan, you WILL be happy. I am smoking chicken, working on two car door poppers, getting the box ready, and opening Amazon orders. I only ordered one rear shock and need two. I used to be better at multi-tasking.......had to have the wife mix a bourbon and coke to keep the evening in check. I will keep thinking about it and try to remember where I might have some more reloading stuff before the AM. If I got it right, it looks like @kingston_fisher is the next shipto......IM sentr |

There is still time for me to take that stuff out. Send IM if not appropriate.

Received the box yesterday and finished going through it tonight.
As it was opened: Attached File All of the baggies and boxes took out: Attached File What I took: (The flashlight, some of the 45 ACP after I sorted out the small pistol primers, the Minimaglight holster, a piece of 219 zipper, and a piece of 30 Rem AR.) Attached File What I added: Various brass (pictured). uzi mag loaders, loading blocks, stripper clips, other small items (not pictured) Attached File Here is the box ready for a shipping label. I have the next person's info and will print a label and ship Monday at lunch time. Attached File Also there was a wraparound 1911 grip that had gotten smashed in the box that the plastic had deteriorated and cracked. I tossed it and the fogged up chicom scope in the trash to make room. |
