Wow I must have a brain tumor because I am really dumb.

So I've been shooting .300 Whisper for a while now. All last week I was thinking "Man, I should get a heavy .30 caliber mold to play around with"

So a few nights ago I put an order in at midway for a 200 grain .309 bullet mold. According to them it's shipped but I didn't receive it yet.

So literally 10 minutes ago I am going through my shooting supplies, organizing stuff, you know. I find a box of things and I recognize it as a box that was sent to me from Midway back in november.

And what's in it? A HEAVY .30 CALIBER MOLD

Yes, gentlemen. I ordered this in November when I started getting into .300 Whisper and completely forgot I already owned it

So here I am, nine months after I ordered this, and I completely forgot I already owned it. And I just ordered another one.

I'm 24. This shouldn't be happening yet. I don't want to be senile. I thought i had a good 60 years.

I tell you one thing: I'll never make fun of my dad for being old ever again.

Edit: Hopefully they will refund me the cost of the mold, but they better not refund me the shipping cost, because it's my fault, not theirs. Also when I return it I will totally pay to ship it back.

So i'm honest. Honest but stupid.

And your point is?

(Just kidding).

[leadman]

Remember, the fan is supposed to blow the lead fumes AWAY from you!

Moulds are a little hard to get, might want to offer it on the Selling & Swapping.

stevekl,

Ah, ah...

Oh, never mind.

[jhrosier]

Better check the gun safe, you might have another 300 Whisper that you forgot about.:kidding:

'Course I shouldn't talk, I somehow would up with three sets of .358 Win dies.
You would think that a person would remember that sort of thing.....

[HeavyMetal]

The extra mold you can live with.

Right about now I'd be wondering how many wives I had?

That could be a problem!

[lylejb]

Or Kids :kidding:

[reddog]

Aww heck. don't even worry about it. I'm at a half a century and when I look through some old stuff and find something I fergot, I figger it's a good thing. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Revell in yer find. Reddog

[briang]

Everybody needs a spare, right?

[GabbyM]

Try the one you have out before returning the new one. With the stuff the big three are putting out you'll be lucky if either one is any good before a rework.

[Bigjohn]

And what problem is it that you think you have? This is about normal for me. :-)

[lead Foot]

I forgot what I was going to say?

[Wayne Smith]

Let's see, two 430 size dies, three sets of .39/357 dies - all carbide, and a box of .311 bullets for which I have never owned a rifle. And that's just what I know about!

[cajun shooter]

The scary part is you have a whole lifetime to get to the final stages

[44man]

Every now and then I clean!---SCARY isn't it? :bigsmyl2:
I find all kinds of goodies, tools and such so I set them aside. Then I forget about them again and never remember what I found or where I put them anyway. :veryconfu

[wallenba]

Try tag team casting with them.

[Trey45]

Steve, every day is Christmas! Just clean up something different each day and each day you'll have a new surprise to discover, heck you might even discover the same thing over and over and over again! Welcome to the "sometimers" club!

[Doc_Stihl]

Hey, you forgot to send that whisper back to me that you borrowed.

[wiljen]

You know what they say, "The memory is the second thing to go". Damn if I can remember what the first thing was though.

[Hardcast416taylor]

I was getting out a top punch the other day and kept finding top punches for my .416, I have 3 punches for the same boolit now! I also came across 2 new in the box HP LEE moulds for the 44 and 38 I don`t remember buying, they`re being used now. Getting old is like having X-mas everyday with new discoveries when you clean your bench off.;-)Robert

[sheepdog]

Lay off the reafer ;)

[fordwannabe]

I have to admit that at 44 I was cleaning my gun closet and found a really nice old damascus barreled double, I totally forgot I had. It was soo neat to see it again. Stuff happens.

[home in oz]

Start getting used to this sort of thing; it will happen more and more often as the years pass.....

[jdgabbard]

know what you mean... I found four ak parts kits I bought 5 years ago that I forgot I had...

[IHMSA]

Yeah,

I have the same problem. Must be overexposure to lead.
Sometimes I find that I forget things I did only one minute ago.
Does anyone know of a cure? :mrgreen:

[JesterGrin_1]

What was this topic about again lol. :)

[RayinNH]

C.R.S., now what did that stand for?...Ray

[stevekl]

I got the two molds in hand but of course I don't have the time to cast, what with working five nights in a row.

I earn the money to buy the molds but i never have time to use them :(

I'm off tomorrow (thank God) and I'll probably be casting like mad all day.

[peter nap]

I'm a little older so I have an excuse.

I bought a 44 Spl die at a gunshow a few weeks ago. When I put it away in the loading cabinet, it fit nicely beside the other two I thought I loaned to my son:oops:

Wayne,
The box of .311 is only an excuse to buy the next rifle.........just one more iron in the fire.
I think we're all guilty of that.

True that, I've been keeping my eyes open for an Argi but haven't run across one yet. No, I'm not searching for one, either!

[Rockchucker]

Hey Jon K, I'm interested in an extra set of 357 carbide dies if you decide to sell one. If so, just pm me. Thanks

[qajaq59]

Me? I'd keep both. The extra is for the day I forgot where I put the first one!!!!!!!

[AZ-Stew]

Now, if you want to be practical about this, instead of spending money out of pocket, sell the mould on e-bay as a "Rare, 300 Whisper mould" and you'll double your $$, as well as getting someone else to pay the postage.

Regards,

Stew
