I'm looking for a 50BMG cartridge + boolit to use as a visual aid in a women's firearm class.
Can anyone who reloads these spare or sell two of each?
I'm near Tacoma, so south of Seattle is ideal....

Would a training cartridge work for you?

Yup, that’s one of ‘em!

All three are bottle openers, I just have the top two rotated so you can see the logo.

That might actually work really well! Do you have one/some or can you point me in the right direction to obtain such?

HAH! I forgot about those! Although I personally would like to get my hands on one of those WAGUNS labeled bottle openers, I think I'm going to avoid the bottle openers with the first-time shooters as I don't want to trivialize the issue at their first exposure.

Sir:

I reload .50 BMG. I can furnish for you two fired cleaned and polished cases, as well as two 630 grain M33 ball projectiles.

Do you want them deprimed, or with fired primers inside?

And...where can I meet you to turn these over to you?

As for cost...well, a bottle or two of Sobe Lifewater (zero calorie, and no Blood Orange/Mango or Coconut water...PLEEEEZE!!!) will compensate me quite nicely.

Huge shoutout to Powderman for meeting me with a couple of .50 BMG cartridges and bullets. Thank you! It was great talking with you!
Many of the ladies haven't ever fired a firearm before and are in total awe at the massive cartridge case and bullet. It is super helpful to explain the case, primer, bullet (and imaginary powder).
