I went to a gun show a while back and found a old man selling reloading supplies. I asked him if he had any .45 ACP large primer brass. So he gave me 4 bags of 250 once fired brass. I quickly inspected the brass and paid the man.

Tonight I decided to put all that brass in with the rest of my stock. Upon closer inspection I saw a couple of small primer cases in with the rest. So I had to go through all four bags and inspect every case. Turns out he even sold me about 250 .40 S&W cases and about 30 small primer .45 ACP cases. So at the end of the day I only got about 730 large primer .45 cases.

Moral of the story, don't ever let your guard down when buying reloading components like this. I wasn't careful enough and got ripped off.
