    Old Guys Rock.

    Some weeks back a coworker of mine said he had some old reloading stuff for me. I completely forgot until today when he said he had a box for me and the box is almost the coolest part!

    Can anyone tell me about these items? Specifically the reloading dies, and whether or not the powder and primers may still be usable?

    Thanks,

    Yes. Old guys rock.

      Don't reload myself, but bits on the web suggest Hi-Skor 700 X was used for shotgun ammo, and Dupont quit making it in 1966! Apparently sold the business, to IMR, and seems to have been picked up by Hogdon.

      What, exactly, is that last image? Says 'high explosives' ...

      Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

          Old guy here. That stuff is all worthless.

          Send it to me, and I can properly dispose of it for you.

              I still use Hi-Skor700x for loading 38/357/44sp and light mag/45acp/9mm. It works fine. Primers will last just about forever.
              A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                        I agree the box is the coolest part.
