Equip. & mat'l. for Jarrett

[Jim]

Jarrett owns an NEF .44 Mag rifle with a dot scope. I will be teaching him to load bottleneck calibers and handgun calibers. Toward this, I have on hand:
Smith & Wesson model 19 revolver, caliber .38 Spl/ .357 mag.
Taurus Judge, caliber .45 Colt/.410
Ruger P345, caliber .45 ACP
Savage model 110 bolt rifle, caliber .223
Carl Gustaf Swedish Mauser, caliber 6.5X55
1916 Spanish Mauser, caliber .308
Winchester model 670 bolt rifle, caliber .30-06
Remington Eddystone model 1917 rifle, caliber .30-06
Lee Enfield, caliber .303
Marlin Guide Gun, caliber .45-70
Gibbs Summit bolt rifle, caliber .45-70

Y'all don't freak out and think I'm gonna put him behind a Guide Gun with Cape Buffalo charges. I know better than that. But, we CAN load .45-70 cases with Unique and RBs.

I also have a Caldwell Lead Sled that's weighted to 32 lbs. and there's a shooting bench and stool on the range.

Gentlemen, I want you all to know(as if you don't) there is no way I could make this happen by myself. I have not hesitated to confess I am on a very limited budget as I am not working. I thank all of you most sincerely.

I have been with Cast Boolits since it was originally Shooters.com. I have NEVER seen such a massive and sweeping effort to achieve something of this nature. I have seen many members assemble to assist another adult in times of hardship, but this young man has attracted the attention of almost the entire forum.

Thank you, guys. Thank you so much.

This is the greatest forum on the net and the generosity here is beyond belief.........

PS -- Jim I lust after some of your guns!

[Lively Boy]

how about a tumbler (vib)

[dragonrider]

Ok Jim the molds I mentioned in the otherr thread won't do Jarret any good as they are for a 38 and a 9 MM. So what about a full box of 44 cal gas checks???

[Bloodman14]

How about some 316299's? Got a coupla hundred I can send in a coupla weeks.

[Jim]

Gunnerd,
Took me a bit to find that. That's a nice lookin' boolit!
Yes Sir, I would very much appreciate that.
I'll PM you with details.

It was an early morning today, and I have read the post, but I was wondering what guns he has and was he going to cast for them or just load.???[smilie=b:

Understandably, it will take time for him to absorb all of this. I WILL be teaching him the full curriculum of this hobby.

As time goes along, he will be exposed to casting, loading and shooting the following calibers:
NEF .44 mag break open rifle
Smith & Wesson model 19 revolver, caliber .38 Spl/ .357 mag.
Taurus Judge, caliber .45 Colt/.410
Ruger P345, caliber .45 ACP
Savage model 110 bolt rifle, caliber .223
Carl Gustaf Swedish Mauser, caliber 6.5X55
1916 Spanish Mauser, caliber .308
Winchester model 670 bolt rifle, caliber .30-06
Remington Eddystone model 1917 rifle, caliber .30-06
Lee Enfield, caliber .303
Marlin Guide Gun, caliber .45-70
Gibbs Summit bolt rifle, caliber .45-70

I can contribute boolits cast from the following molds if needed:

Mihec 45 cal 200gr HP (round, pent or solid)
Lee 45 cal 230gr TC (regular lube groove)
Lee 30 cal 180gr
Lee 22 cal 55gr Bator

If you are interested I am happy to contribute some boolits from any of these molds.

I don't have much but will help any I can.

LOL when I was his age my personal arsenal consisted of a single shot 20 guage, a year later I aquired a 22. Then at age 15 I aquired a 300 M99 and promptly bought a lee loader, and I thought I was in hog heaven. lol

Jim:
If you'll pm me a ship to addy I will get a little 357 stuff out to you.

[Jim]

Approximately 12 pounds of alloy, a sack of .44 mag brass and more '06 brass than I've ever seen in one place.

Donated to Jarrett by a Cast Boolits member.

This is the greatest forum on the net. I defy and challenge ANY forum to do something like this. We got the greatest people in the world right here.

I started this thread with an inventory of what has been pledged or shipped. Honestly, I can't keep up. I am trying my very best to PM everyone that has contributed, but there's so much stuff coming in for Jarrett, it's difficult to keep track.

I knew there would be those that would help, but I cannot comprehend this level of caring shown to Jarrett by this forum. How does one sufficiently thank people for this? I'm not capable of expressing that.

Fellas, y'all have no idea how this affects me. For the first time in my entire life, I will admit, to men I have never met, that sometimes I sit here in the gun room and look at the boxes coming in and I tear up.

Thank you, guys. I just...................that's all I can come up with.

[Jim]

Two more packages arrived today. A set of dies in one and a nice tumbler in the other.
Thank you, guys. I really appreciate all the help!
Jim

[Olevern]

Jim,
do you have the Lee C-309-115F mould? Have two and if you can use it for Jarrett would be happy to bring it along.
Olevern

[Jim]

I do not have that one, Vern. Thank you so much!
That will come in handy in the 1917 Eddystone and the 1916 Spanish Mauser.

[Bloodman14]

Jim, your 316299's are on the way! PM sent.
