Once you place a bid, and if you win, you will be obligated to buy the product at the said price you indicated as your bid. Placing a bid on this Site, and winning, then not paying for the product is illegal in most states, and prosecution can result.

JACK AND PATSY FERGUSON ESTATE AUCTION Online only. Bidding closes Sunday, October 4, 2026 at 7:00 PM Central. Jack and Patsy Ferguson of Quincy, Missouri spent a lifetime outdoors. They traveled the world hunting, and Jack was a handloader of the old school, the kind who bought good components when he saw them and kept a bench stocked deep enough to ride out any shortage. Jack has passed away and Patsy is downsizing. What follows is that bench, that gun room and that camp, offered in 355 lots. This is one of the deepest reloading estates we have handled. If you load your own, clear your calendar for this one. Everything sells from our auction warehouse in Clinton, Missouri. SMOKELESS POWDER AND PROPELLANTS Lots 3001 through 3025 are an extraordinary run of canister powders covering nearly every burn rate a handloader uses. Hodgdon Varget, H4895, H4350, H4831 and H4831SC, H414, H380, H335, H1000, Retumbo, BL-C(2), Benchmark, Lil Gun, Longshot, Universal, CFE Pistol, CFE BLK, Hybrid 100V, Trail Boss, Titegroup and H110. IMR 3031, 4064, 4198, 4227, 4350, 4831, 4895, 7828 and the Enduron series. Alliant Reloder 15, 19, 22, 23 and 25, plus Unique, Bullseye, Blue Dot, 2400, Power Pistol and AR-Comp. Winchester 748, 760, 296, 540 and 231. Accurate, Ramshot, VihtaVuori and Norma. Older Hercules and DuPont cans as well. Lot 3009 includes GOEX FFFg true black powder. Read this carefully. Every powder container in this sale is partial and was opened by Jack during his loading. None is a sealed full pound. We did not weigh them. If you want to know how much is left in a particular container before you bid, call 417-399-1904 and we will weigh it and tell you. Powder is pickup only and will not be shipped under any circumstances. AMMUNITION Roughly sixty lots of ammunition across an unusual spread of chamberings: 22-250 Remington, .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, 6mm Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, 30-30 Winchester, 30-06, .220 Swift, 7mm Remington Magnum, 8mm Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Winchester, .38-40 Winchester, .25 ACP, .32 H and R Magnum, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .357 SIG, .40 S and W, .41 Remington Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Auto, .45 Colt, 9mm Luger, .22 rimfire, and 12, 16 and 410 gauge shotshells. Be clear about what most of this is. Jack was a handloader and the large majority of the loaded ammunition in this sale was loaded by him, not by a factory. We have said so on every lot where that is the case. Those rounds were not commercially manufactured, they have not been tested, and they are sold for component and collector value with the buyer assuming all risk of use. A handful of lots are genuine sealed factory ammunition and we have said that too. Where case heads were visible we read and published the headstamps so you know what you are looking at. Round counts on handloads are unverified and we ask you to count at pickup. RELOADING COMPONENTS Bullets by the box and by the case. Barnes TSX and X, Nosler Partition and Ballistic Tip, Sierra MatchKing and GameKing, Hornady, Speer, Berger and Woodleigh in .224, 6mm, .264, 7mm, .308, .323, .338 and handgun diameters. Brass in quantity, primers, wads, shot and powder measures. Standouts include lot 2036, a 22-250 Remington brass and Barnes TSX grouping, lot 1014 with fourteen boxes of .308 bullets, lot 1019 in 7mm Remington Magnum, lot 2035 with twenty-one boxes of .224 bullets, and lot 1097 with eleven boxes of 8mm Barnes X and Nosler. DIES, PRESSES AND BENCH EQUIPMENT More than seventy die lots, and we put the caliber in the title of every one of them so you can find what fits your rifle. RCBS, Lee, Lyman, Hornady and Pacific in everything from .32 S and W Long to .400 Cor-Bon, including 7mm STW, 6.5-06, .223 WSSM, .270 WSM and 8mm Remington Magnum.

Lot 2501 is a substantial parts lot of stocks, forends and hardware. Add gun cleaning equipment, hard cases, shooting rests, an Argentine Model 1891 sword bayonet by Weyersberg Kirschbaum of Solingen in lot 1093, trail cameras, game calls and optics accessories. TOOLS, CAMP AND HUNTING GEAR A full shop of Craftsman, Channellock, Milwaukee, SKIL and Chicago Pneumatic hand and power tools. Two Keuffel and Esser and Brunson surveying instruments.

Bean, Eddie Bauer, Frogg Toggs and Cabela's, including insulated coveralls, bibs, vests and waders. HOW WE CATALOGED THIS SALE Every lot in this auction was written from its own photographs. We counted items from a single wide photograph of each lot rather than adding up close-ups, because a close-up of the same item photographed twice is not two items. Where a lot could not be counted with confidence we said so instead of guessing. Where a box label did not match its contents we said that too. Every lot carries an estimated value researched against recent sold prices, not asking prices. We would rather you bid with your eyes open.
