With the shortage of 510GNR brass, I checked my stash for any empties: One box of 50 empties with 3 missing...

Back in the day, before the dies arrived, I had purchased four 50rd. boxes of loaded 350gr. LBTs from Larry Kovach @ Cartridge Performance Engineering, and the 315gr. RN bullets for practice handloads. Not a cheap purchase. Figured 200 pcs. would be plenty. These are head stamped "510GNR CPE".

Tracked down the 3 missing brass to 3 "buddies", who asked to shoot the 510 Hunter, each had taken a souvenir from the experience without any thought... Doesn't rank up there with Grand Theft, but a hell of a way to show gratitude for the opportunity. None of the three see any problem. Guess I need to be more careful turning my back on "friends".
