Reeder Custom Guns

i was going through my gun room this afternoon and found a large box full of brass 9mm,32 s&w long 32-20,38 spl ,357-44 b&d,445sm,a 20 round box of factory 357 max and 100 new primed 218 bee cases .i know what most of this brass goes for .but what is the 218 bee brass worth also the 357 max ammo? i have a table at next weeks gun show and may take some of this there to sell/trade for reloading items i need

there can be a dry spell and it fetches a good bit. $1 per is not out of line for someone who needs it. I've seen it at $2 per piece! The .357 Max. is pretty rare too. It's worth whatever a man that needs it will pay (it's loaded ammo right?). I'd say close to $40 for starters?

funny thing is i have no idea where the bee brass or 357 max came from .i don;t remember buying or someone giving it to me. i may keep the 357max ammo and may have gary build or rechamber a contender barrel in 357 max to play with.it wouldn't be the first time i bought a gun for ammo i have.

Contender barrel with the external Hot Shot choke. I knew what I was going to do. I re-chambered it to Maximum with the proper throating that TC screwed up. Now it shoots .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and Maximums all equally well. My favorite load is a 200 gr. RCBS FNGC running 1650 fps ahead of a full charge of AA1680. The recoil in the old school Contender is "brisk" but mostly manageable with the old walnut saw handle grips circa 1974. I put a Bushnell 2.5 Phantom on it and it is as good as they ever were. Takes me back to my youth.

Doug gave me an old octagon 8-3/8" .357
