Blast from the Reloading Past...

I bought the whole box strictly to get my hands on the Hornady .338 bullets - which have been discontinued. I didn't look too closely at anything else, but it turns out that everything in there - including for the little holster - will be of use to me! I feel like I really lucked out with no surplus junk to get rid of. It even turns out that all of the gunpowder cans, except for the old DuPont 4759 can from the '40s, are still sealed, so most of it is probably still good to use.

There are some M1 Carbine tools down in the bottom along with some items I can't ID. I will post a photo later to help identify them.

All my other Hornady GCs are packaged in the red and white boxes - and they're pretty old. The Sierras state that they were made by Harris Machine. I can't remember how long it's been since Sierra offered gas checks in their lineup.

Just feel lucky and thankful that you actually have possession of some gas checks. Try to find some in stock somewhere! If you do find any, they will be so pricey, you might have a stroke! :?

P.S. Welcome to the S&W Forum. We all look forward to seeing pix of your single shots!
