Was just digging thru my STUFF and ran onto a NEW, "UNOPENED" 8# jug of AA2230 buried under a bunch of boxes. Didn't know I still had it. Checked and they're going for something like $350.00 ea. @ Powder Valley. Lucky me.

You must have an awful lot of supplies to "discover" an 8lb jug of powder. LOL

That's nothing. Some years back I put a 48 lb powder order in. I received it, put it up, stored it away properly. About 2 months later I reordered the exact same 48 lbs. I had forgotten that I had bought it. H4895, H1000, IMR 7828SSC. 96 lbs in 2 orders.

I did this with a bunch of Wolf SRM primers. Found 9 or so 1k packs stacked behind the 5k sleeves. I was so happy.

Small room with lots of stuff thrown in. You forget what you have if you don't use it often.
Got a bunch of CCI #34 Mil spec (7.62/.308) primers that won't be used by me. "Need to get rid of them". Think just shy of 2 full boxes.
Powder Valley has them for $118.00 a 1000. (out of stock) Used a BUNCH of them in my M1A.

...I was looking for a blue bag of old Winchester 30-06 brass, I was sure it was under that pile of stuff...

I had this when moving 4 years ago. I found an 8# jug of H4350 that I had forgotten about.

It just feels Christmasy in this thread

Sometimes it is great to be old and forgetful. A few years back my wife sent me to our outbuilding to search for some kitchen item she wanted. Glory be! I found a Ram Line synthetic stock for my M1 Garand. Must have bought it and put it up and forgot about it.

A couple of years ago, I came across 4 two pound containers of unopened VV N133. They had been put in a box when we moved and put in a bedroom closet by accident and sat there for over 20 years. And, now I don't use N133 powder. There was also a box of 1,000 Federal M205's. The primers I use and work fine, and it was at a time when primers were non-existent.

The good thing about this is I have extra of powders that are sought after that I don't use anymore. I've started shooting Shooters World powders and VV.

Ordered up a set of .221 Fireball dies from an on line dealer. Had to send them another email and cancel that order. Found a set on the shelf that I had already used for a couple of years. At times you get too busy to know what you've already got.
