Ran into three estate sales at the Birmingham show. Bought 20 boxes of bullets for $40 at one. Pile included two boxes of 358 200s and two boxes of 458 500s, the rest were all 6.5s. But had a devil of a time getting the bullets back to my table without a bag or sack the vultures kept taking the boxes off my pile, I would snatch them back, oh were those your bullets, yeah keep your cotton pickers to yourself. There was a nice looking rifle at the end of two tables, I was at the opposite end, so could not get to it because the vultures were after my stash.... Got back and the rifle was gone, yeah I asked, knowing I was going to be disappointed, I was so right, it was a Win Hi wall in 30-30 x 6mm, the guy in charge sold it for $200 while I was gone with the bullet stash.

The other two sales were over by the time I got back so only got to buy from one pile. But it was real interesting.
