I found a little over 200 pieces of 404 Jeff brass for sale at a local gun store. It is marked "HDS" and I have never heard of this brand. Is the brass any good and what is its value?

Huntington Die Specialties.

Not sure who they had make it for them. Given the scarcity - in high demand!
 
Asking $60 for the box of 20. I count over 10 boxes.

I don't shoot a 404 J. If someone needs it, let me know and perhaps I can secure it for you.
 
As much as I'd like to buy them just to hoard for any future rifles that may come up, I'm sure there are some current owners who will jump on them
 
Thanks fellers for the input.
Randy.
 
PM sent. I’d like some if you’re able to get them. Thanks
 
I bought the lot and it's available to AH members. $60 per box of 20 plus shipping. At the moment, I believe I have 7 boxes left.

At this moment. I have all boxes sold pending payment. I will post here if someone backs out.

@baxterb thanks man
I've been watching folks beg for this stuff and had seen it on the shelf of this little gun store. I don't have a 404J and was afraid of getting stuck if I bought it. Well it went in 3 hours. Glad I was able to help 3 of our AH family.

Very good thing to do. Thank you even though I missed it.

Wish I had a little more to spread around.

Not a problem. I have quit a few. I am also in the process of 404j's getting built. At that time I may need some brass to go with them.. Hoping brass will be back in the market by then.

Primers!...... that's what scares me the most. I've been reloading the last few days and breaking into a new sleeve of primers made me gasp for air.
 
If any of that brass goes left unattended please LMK.
 
Allegedly Hornady will be making 404J again this summer. That’s what Steve told me at DSC and later confirmed by Chris at Heym. Will see what comes of it.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
