    Interesting Case

    I was processing some 30-06 and ran across this FA 36 case.

    Kind of strange holding it and thinking about how long ago it was and what was about to happen in the world.

    Frankford Arsenal 1936

    And I thought my "RORG 92" case in the primer thread was old.

    You want 250 FA70 primers dated 1932 to go with your brass? Still fresh in the cardboard box...

    Not trying to sell them. Just weird that I found them yesterday in a box of reloading stuff from an estate sale.

    That is crazy.

    I only need one but hazmat would make that silly.

    Nice find as well.

    ETA: Also, if I did that I’d have to track down a projectile and powder as well, which is a rabbit hole I don’t need to fall into……….

    Don't recall how many years they did it, but Frankford Arsenal .45 ACP used special primers a little smaller than standard large primers.
