9.3 noe gb

[shooter93]

Ok...here it goes. DJ, aka Blammer will soon post the design and dimensions. It will be in the 280 grain range. It will be available in plain base or gas checked and solid or hollow point nose types. NOE will be the maker with his usual pricing. Rob...aka No.1 and I will honcho the buy, you'll be sending the money to Rob. Once you see the design place your name on the list. Any questions feel free to PM me. We believe this boolit while not perfect is the best compromise for a lot of rifles. As stated before the 9.3x62 is the hardest to satify because of it short neck. The design allows for some latitude in seating depth. I think we can get the 15 needed but if not we'll run it as a small group buy. With Rob and I we only need 13 more.
And a BIG thank you to Rob for handling the paper work and shipping, this is no small task guys. And a MONSTEROUS thanks to DJ. For those of you who don't know him Darrell is a really great guy who always accomodates the design whims of a number of us. He does very nice work and never asks for a single penny or a free mold. He and Rob have fianlly made this a reality.
Gentlemen and Fellow members,

The 9.3 Group Buy is Now Open. The planning thread can be found here: http://www.gunloads.com/castboolits/showthread.php?p=768230#post768230

Dj (Blammer) will provide and post the drawings as required very soon. These molds will be produced by Night Owl Enterprises (NOE). Scott (shooter93) will handle all questions about design and I will handle the paperwork, funds, contact with Al, receipt from Al and final shipment to you.

We will keep this one open for 6 weeks. If we don't get the required 15 then we will have to chip in a few extra $$ each to make it a go. The prices found here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showpost.php?p=599030&postcount=1 are current. To save you time from looking I have cut/pasted the prices below. Be aware that there will be shipping charges on top of the price listed. USPS has a new flat rate box that is pretty small that should fit your mould fine. I will require you add insurance and delivery comfirmation to your mould because once it leaves my hands I have no control over it's destiny. I anticipate these additional charges should not exceed $10 per person unless you live outside the US. If you do, please contact me by PM to make arrangements.

As a clarifier, this will be a no profit deal for me to honcho it however If you feel you owe Dj, Steve or me something for our work please use the donate button located here: http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/...page=donations follow the directions and reference this group buy as the reason for your donation. Any an all donations will be used to benefit our site.

This Group Buy is for a 9.3 mould that can be had in non-GC, HP or combination of GC / non-GC / HP.



Night Owl Enterprise does not accept credit card but they do accept paypal (+3%), money order or personal check. I will send a personal check to them since it is the most cost effective method of payment. I will call for money in about 2-3 weeks. I will accept your personal check or a postal money order but want to have them deposited so they can sit in my bank at least 10 days before I send MY check to NOE. I am not saying that anyone will stiff me but as we all know, stuff happens.....

The following was a direct cut/paste from their thread. Based on the below info your can get your mould configured any way you desire:

We offering the following:
Single cavity mould $68.00 Ea.
Double cavity mould $72.00 Ea.
Three cavity mould $79.00 Ea.
Four cavity mould $85.00 Ea.
Five cavity mould $92.00 Ea.

Plus Shipping/Handling.
Prices are subject to change at any time.
Price above is based on ordering 15 or more moulds at a time.
You can mix number of cavities in an order to make 15.
We can cut gas checked and non gas checked cavities
in the same mould if the bullet is designed for it.
Use LEE Commercial 6-Cavity handles (not included).
Lyman, RCBS type top punch furnished with each mould
as well as a sample of Bull Plate sprue plate lube.

Hollow pointing one cavity and furnishing a double
ended pin would be $35.00 Extra.
If you want to fashion different HP profiles, an extra blank pin would be $1.50.

We will accept Checks, Money Orders and Pay-Pal
Pay-Pal requires a 3% sir-charge.

We will honcho group buys if requested.
Or refer you to one of the honchos we work with.

Moulds are machined from 2024 Aluminum
Used for high strength structural and aircraft applications.
Tensile strength range 30,000 to 63,000 psi
Sprue plate (blued), alignment pins, and hardware will be
carbon steel.


I will post a running list of confirmed orders with username and options and a list of zip codes that payments have been received from in the next post.

Thanks for your participation in the GB,

Robert

Mark me down for a four cavity gas check with one hollow point.

[hornsurgeon]

i'm in, not sure what combo though. perhaps 2 gc and 2 pb.

[no_1]

Gentlemen,

The GC boolit design being offered will be cut to use standard .375 gas checks. As you may already know, Dj is our resident Gatorcheck Gas Check rep and he is going to begin carrying this size as a standard size in his stock but in the mean time he is offering exclusively to the members of the 9.3 GB the chance to purchase 200 gaschecks for $6.00. He will bag them up, send them to me and I will put them in your package so you will have the compete set up when it arrives. If you wish to get some gaschecks added to your purchase, please notate it in your post for your mould desire and remember to add $6.00 to your total cost.

Robert

[hornsurgeon]

ok, ill go with a 4c-gc.

[hornsurgeon]

btt - after all this time lets not let this one die!

[Mr Humble]

I will take a double cavity gas check and gas checks as well and pay with paypal.

Should be fun in this! Yes Martha, it is one of two know Merkel SR-1s "over here" in 9.3x62. Actually a 1 MOA 3 shot group rifle!

[johnly]

My 1930's era Husky was just delivered by the man in the brown truck. [smilie=w:

The rifle is in fine shape and the bore sparkles. Next I did what every castboolit shooted does, I slugged the bore and it looks like it goes .3685-.3690", so it's a tad fat. I have a RCBS 375-250 mold that drops WW at .376" when the mold is hot enough to frost the bullets. I think cast them at normal temperatures and try to squeeze these down to .371" for use in the rifle.

Hopefully I can give this a try before the ordering queue closes.

John,
If your chamber neck and throat will handle a .371" sized boolit your are set...
I shoot the same boolit in my CZ 9.3X62 and it works great.. My groove is .367" and I sized the boolits .370" to fit my case neck and throat..:smile:

[johnly]

It's going to be close unless I turn the case necks.

I ran a new WW 8x57 over a Hornady 375 tapered expander ball, and the neck ID was about .372" and I could feel it drag when I chambered the case.

How do you plan on getting a .375 gas check inside a case neck that is .366? Is it possible to size it down .008 or .009?

If the shank is appropriately sized, its not a problem.

45 cal GC's measure about 0.461/0.462 and these are routinely sized down to 0.451/0.452.

[no_1]

The list of commitments has been updated. Please view post #2 and make sure your order is correct. We have 10 now, need 5 more.

NOTE: If you do not live CONUS, your price will differ due to shipping cost. If you live in the USA I prefer personal check, bank draft, postal money order. If you live outside of the US then I will do pay-pal but you have to do the transfer in USD and you will have to add the % they charge me.

Robert

[johnly]

I'm not sure if I'm counted as being in, but I fired up the pot today to see which of my 375 molds casts undersize bullets. One of my RCBS molds casts linotype bullets at .378" and the other casts maybe .375".

If I switch to WW or 10:1, the bullets should drop even smaller in diameter. The bore on my 9.3x57 is fat and my throat is long, so I think I'll just plan on sizing the bullets that drop out of my undersize mold down to .370". No doubt I'll regret not getting in on this, but until a tight bore 9.3x62 finds its way into my safe, I think I'm good.

John

[hornsurgeon]

put me down for the gas checks as well.

[verney]

I am in too, just can't make up my mind about mold configuration.

[Chapuis]

Hi,
I'm new on this site though I have been watching the thread on the 9.3mm mould purchase for some time now. I am a British shooter who has reloaded for some thirty years and used a large number of cast pistol bullets over the years, but up until recently I hadn't used any cast rifle bullets.

Recently due to necessity I started casting 8mm bullets for my 8x57irs rifle and had better results than expected. My investment in casting equipment so far has been minimal, but satisfaction with the results is total.
I have now decided to purchase a 9.3mm mould in order to reload for my 9.3x74r and wonder if you would consider letting me join your group purchase. That is if we can sort out the transportation costs to the U.K. and as long as your laws allow.

When I first became interested in casting for the 8mm a very kind American guy offered to loan me a suitable mould but it was returned to him by U.S. Customs and he was informed that he could not send it to me. Yet I then purchased a mould direct from the Lee factory outlet with no problems whatsoever, figure that one out!
Can any one tell me for certain if I was able to join this joint purchase if I am likely to experience problems with U.S. customs?
Personally I wouldn't think that there should be a problem as even in this country with all it's restrictions anyone can buy a bullet mould should they want to.

[JFE]

Chapius - welcome to the forum.

I've bought a number of moulds from the US in the last 3 years (from here, ebay and retailers) and not one has been stopped by US Customs. There are no current restrictions on exporting bullets moulds as such that I am aware of, but I think it all comes down to the decription used in the Customs declaration form. The descriptions used for my exports have included 'mold', 'casting mold', 'reloading tool' etc. I think it would make sense to avoid using the word 'bullet' in the description.

Joe

[Blammer]

YES! we'd be happy to have you join. I've mailed many moulds to the UK with no problems.

NO_1 (aka) robert will be the person you'll need to contact about this for sure. Just send him a PM.

[no_1]

Welcome to our forum and this Group Buy. You are welcome to join in on this GB. Please understand the price will differ for you since what I have quoted was for shipment inside the US. The cost of the mold will be the same but the shipping price will be different. The shipping should not be that much more since I will send it US priority mail. Payments options can be discussed in a private message.

In case you are not familiar with our forums format to send a private message, left click my name that is located to the left of this message. You will find an option to send me a private message. Please include any and all question you may have and I will answer them the best I can.

pm sent to No1 to confirm my interest.

Looking forward to trying cast bullets in the 9.3x74r, they have got to be better than the horrid copper plated things that I have been trying so far.

[akriet]

I appreciate the group buy, and I'd like in. I would like a 5-cavity mould with cuts for 1 GCHP, 2 GC's, 1 PB, and 1 PBHP. I'd also like the 200 gas check deal. Thanks.

[Chapuis]

PLease make mine a two cavity gas check mould, and I would like to take up the 200 gas check offer.

I presume having a Lee push through die made is the most efficient/ economical way to fit the gas checks.

[9.3X62AL]

Welcome to the board, Chapuis!

Yes, verbiage of contents description can work wonders. When I ship bullet samples via USPS, the weight is pretty obvious in the Flar Rate Boxes. Rather than play "20 Questions" with the counter folks over "bullets" or "lead", I describe the contents as "tin alloy castings". It's obviously the high-speed/low-drag/politically-correct California Condor Lover response.

[NuJudge]

Put me down for two molds: a 4-cavity mold all of the cavities gas checked, and a 1 cavity mold hollow-pointed and gas checked, and the Blammer deal. Can I get a spare hollow point pin also?

Tell me where to send the money and when.

CDD

[sojerguy]

Put me down for a 2 cavity mould. Both gas checked. Also an even 500 of the gas checks.

Let me kow total and where to send the money via PM please.

Sojerguy

[shooter93]

Sojerguy...I believe we're limiting the gaschecks to 200 per person so all mold buyers can get some right away. I'm sure dj will be ordering as many as people want a little later because he pretty much keeps standing orders and needless to say with this mold being sold I'm sure most people will want to order a 1,000 or more checks.

[sojerguy]

Oops. Ok ok ok. :coffeecom

So I didn't fully read all the rules. Yes adjust my order down to the amount of 200 gas checks.

Robert:

Per your request for clarification: if possible then, let's have 4 gas check cavities, with one of the GC's hollow-pointed, and a single plain base cavity. Plus the Blammer deal. Thanks.

Sorry for this late request - but can you squeeze another order in......have a 9.3 coming (an unfinished project, on a Ruger No3 action...current owner has lost interest in). If OK would like 5 cav with 3GC and 2PB and Blammer deal - am from Oz so realise extra costs involved. Many thanks Peter

[shooter93]

[Dave Bulla]

I've been following this for a while now but just now registered so I could ask a question...

I recently bought my first Husqvarna 9.3x57 and have not even shot it yet. I've never cast my own bullets but I have good basic reloading experience. I like the IDEA of casting my own but two things I'm wondering about before I jump on the bandwagon are this:

How much other equipment would I need and what would it cost me to get set up? I'm not opposed to "going primitive" and have been wondering if purpose made melting setups are needed or if you could just use a hotplate/burner and a cast iron pot.

Second, do I need to measure my bore on my rifle before I get in on this? I've only read about this stuff so far and I seem to recall that you can control the diameter somewhat by various methods but I don't know how much.

Then the last hurdle will be to convince my wonderful wife who is the "lord of the checkbook" around here....

I will take a four cavity mold, all cavities with GC + Blammer deal.

[no_1]

Gentlemen,

The link in post #47 (Swede's schedule) shows we are on the list for the 4th week of August. Since we are 6 months out on production I am going to leave this one open a little longer. I spoke with Blammer last night and he has the GC's on hand for those that have ask for the "Blammer Deal" and also somewhere around ~4k extras which are currently for sale. Contact him for purchase details.

Collection of funds will happen in a month or so. Stay tuned for details.

Robert

[Dave Bulla]

Question, probably a stupid one but hey, I'm new...

If a cavity is hollow pointed, can you remove the pin and cast a normal bullet in that cavity or can you only cast hollow points in that cavity.?

[Dave Bulla]

p.s.

I'm thinking of a 3 cavity mold, all GC's and the blammer deal but I'm not sure about the hollow point for the above reason.

[Blammer]

if you put a flat point pin in the cavity instead of the HP pin you can cast a regular boolit in that cavity, but you'd have to put the pin in place each time you open/close the mould.

if you leave out the pin, the lead will pour right through onto your feet.

[Dave Bulla]

Okay, last question... I think...

I have not yet even shot my 9.3 rifle. Every time I try to get to the range, something comes up. I don't really have a personal idea of the power it has but I do know where it falls ballistically. My plan is to do a good bit of "for fun" shooting, occasionally use the rifle for white tail deer and if I ever go on a gun hunt for elk or moose or something similar, to use it there also. I'd be curious of you all's thoughts about the effectiveness of a cast hollow point on white tails or if there is even a need for it. I'm certain that either bullet will do the job but I don't know what sort of expansion or mushroom effect you get with a cast lead or if it is even desired. I'm a big stickler of waiting for a sure shot and knowing I'll hit where I aim. So, would you, in my shoes as primarily a deer hunter go with a hollow point or just the flat meplat and call it good? My experience with my 45-70 tells me that I don't need a ton of speed or huge mushroom expansion and that a good heavy bullet at moderate speeds is just plain deadly.

[Blammer]

I'd use a meplat, aim for bone and call it good.

[rockrat]

In a cavity that has a hollow point setup, if you have another shortened pin, you can cast a normal boolit, otherwise alot of alloy will run out the hollow point hole.

[Dave Bulla]

Well, what the heck, I think if I don't jump on this I will regret it for a long time in the future.

How about a 3 cavity mold with gas checks and the blammer deal on GC's.

I'll try to explain to my wife later.....

By my math, that should be $79 for the mold, $10 for shipping/ins, $6 for the GC's and totals up to $95.

Holler when you need the $$$$$

[Dave Bulla]

Ok,

Just for the heck of it, I tried clicking on [Group-Buy Login Here] down at the bottom and I signed in okay but I can't find these molds anywhere. Do I need a product ID # or something? I can't find anything that says it's for 9.3 but there are all sorts of long product numbers that don't mention caliber at all. I'd like to be sure I'm "officially" on the list...

[Blammer]

These moulds are not being ran through the group buy login.

You're not to late Johnny, Rob is leaving it open awhile longer because we are on NOE's list for production in August. Rob will adjust the list and announce when and where to send the money.

[Chapuis]

You're not to late Johnny, Rob is leaving it open awhile longer because we are on NOE's list for production in August. Rob will adjust the list and announce when and where to send the money.

Sorry guys but I didn't realise that production wouldn't start until August, I was expecting things to be rolling pretty soon now. I am going to have to withdraw as I need to sort something out sooner than that. As you appreciate I am in the U.K. where availability of bullets is difficult to say the least, and almost impossible for some calibres. Ludicrous restrictions don't help either. I can't simply go out and buy jacketed bullets unless they are full metal jacket and I can't buy through the internet either. I was intending to get set up for casting my own 9.3mm bullets, just as I have recently started doing with 8mm.

My most sincere apologies but I am going to withdraw from this buy and order elsewhere so that I can get up and running sooner.

[Dave Bulla]

Chapuis,

You might want to do a little research on how common (or uncommon) 9.3 bullet molds are. I don't know about Europe but over here they seem to be pretty scarce. Maybe stay on the list or just keep an eye on it and if you find that you don't have much luck locating a mold over there, you might still be wise to jump back in for this group buy.

Just thinkin' out loud.

[Trey45]

Please sign me up for a 2 cavity gas check. This is being reserved for a fellow up in canada, I will pm you his email address and he can work out payment details with you.

Hey No. 1,

I'm wondering if I could change my order to a 4 cavity? Spec's and blammer deal still the same. It's only a few $$$ more so what the heck.

Besides, I wanted to do something besides TTT to bring this back up top. ;)

[Dave Bulla]

Well okay....

I am still here Dave. Just have not changed it. Since this one is so for off for production I don't visit the thread often.

I would like in for a 3 cavity GC with Blammer deal
Just let me know when and where to send MO
Thanks

[frykasj]

Various PM's sent. Sorry, I'm still a noob at this...

I would like a 2 cav, gas checked, one HP with the Blammer deal.

Thanks!

[no_1]

I am still paying attention to the thread and will update it when I get back from vacation.

Robert

[akriet]

Robert:

When you get back from vacation and have a chance to update the list, can you add the Blammer deal to my (akriet's) request? Regards.

[63 Shiloh]

Robert,

If it not too late I would really like to sign up for a 4 Cav: 3 GC and 1 PB if possible?

Plus the 'Blammer' deal to.

I live in Australia and am aware of the extra costs involved with postage.

Just cannot pass up a 4 cav 9.3 mold!!

[saskgunowner101]

I'm thinking of busting open the piggy bank to get in on this group buy....just have a newb question. I see that it is offered in both GC and plain base versions, and from looking at the buyers list, the plain based ones aren't very popular.

Could someone school me on the advantages or not of one over the other?:confused: Please pm as to not pollute this thread. Thanks.

Thank you shooter 93 for answering (pm outgoing not working for me)

[no_1]

This one is still a go for those that are wondering. In post #47 there is a link to Swede's schedule and we are on for September. I know this one is taking a while but there is no substitute for the quality in these moulds.

Robert

[sojerguy]

Friendly bump.

[j4570]

No.1,

I rarely visit, but would like to pick one of these up for a rainy day. Can I still get in on the mold deal (with gaschecks too?). I can pay via Paypal (credit card thru paypal). No problem with the extra %.

I need to decide what I want to order. I haven't ordered GB molds since the old LEE days, I'm not used to all these options.

Thanks,

JW

[shooter93]

Yes it's still open JW. Decide what you want and post it here. Rob will be posting when and where to send the money. I believe we're scheduled for September.

[no_1]

I am still here and it is still open. Read though the post and see what others are doing if you are in question. The GC mould is the deal if you plan on doing "full tilt" loads but for every day plinking you may consider a PB cavity. You can mix and match cavities in the same mould, for example you can do a 4 cavity mould with 2 GC and 2 PB or a 5 cavity with 3 + 2 or pretty much whatever suits your fancy.

The moulds produced by Al are works of art. I have a 5 cavity 44 mould sitting on my bench and the quality is outstanding. Getting the "Blammer special" added gets you started with a few GC's. I am sure that once the mould goes into production he will add that size to his sales.

[j4570]

I'm thinking 4 cavity w/ Blammer deal configured like:

GC with HP
GC
GC
PB

I guess the hollowpoint would be at the far end (furthurest away from the handles)??? Anyone have thought on this? One end easier than the other for casting purposes?

I doubt I'd ever use the plain base, but for the money may as well get one hole cut for it. This is for my 9.3x57 Husky.

Thanks,

JW

[Cheshire Dave]

Just ordered a Ruger #1 in 9.3x74. Gotta have boolits. I'd like a double cavity GC with blammer deal. When is the money due?

Make that a 3 cavity . 2 GC and 1 PB. Might want some light loads. Still want Blammer deal. That would be 85.00 plus how much for shipping?

[no_1]

I will call for money when this one gets much closer. At this point we are pretty far off on the machining schedule and I don't want to sit on y'alls money for that long.

Time for a friendly bump back up top.

[groovy mike]

Can I still get in?

[shooter93]

Yes Mike you can.....up until Rob asks for the money it's open. Post what you want here in this forum.

[Dave Bulla]

Hi Robert (No.1)

I appreciate your help via pm's that enabled me to revise my final choices for this mold. As a total newb, I was going back and forth between "keep it simple and cheap" and "give me lots of holes in my mold".

I found it interesting that you would do a hollow point as a plain base bullet rather than the gas check but it makes sense using the HP to get good expansion at lower velocities.

I think I've made up my mind now too so hopefully I won't be pestering you any more.

I believe I'll go for a 3 cavity mold.

1 cavity GC

1 cavity PB

1 cavity PB HP

3 extra pins

Blammer deal

That should let me do just about anything I want except a GC HP.

Thanks for your help and for helping run this group buy.

Dave

p.s. Am I correct to think that one of the extra pins could be modified to use as a blank so I could pour non HP's in the HP cavity? I'm figuring one pin to play with the shape, one to make a blank and one for when I loose one.... which will surely happen at some point.

[sojerguy]

BTT to keep it fresh!

[Blammer]

Dave Bulla, you are correct with the extra pins.

[Dave Bulla]

Hi Robert,

List info looks good.

Question, I'm planning to pay with pay pal and you mentioned adding 3.5% to cover costs. I'm fine with that but can I do it from my end. I've only used paypal a couple times and always got a payment request email from the seller with the properly adjusted amount. How do i make sure the extra $$ is there? Will I be doing the entire transaction from my end and putting the amount in or will I get a payment request?

Sorry for the stupid questions.... Just don't want to cause you any money shortage.

Thanks.

[no_1]

Dave,

Great question! I used Pay-pal a lot in the past but don't use it much anymore. I do know there is a charge associated with it's use and I was told it was 3.5%. I have to do a little more research such as checking the pay-pal thing, checking with Blammer to ensure the cost of the "Blammer deal" is current, figuring out the best method of shipment for those outside the US, the cost of insurance because once it leaves my hands it is out of my control and of course getting the e-mails out for payment.

Please give me a few more days to figure this stuff out before y'all start hammering me with PM's.

Robert

[no_1]

The 9.3 GB is officially close to orders. In the next few days I will send out payment info.

Robert

[Blammer]

All those who will want MORE of the GC's than the few you're getting with the mould let me know via PM or email how many you may order in the near future. I'll try to stock a few on hand for you.

[tophet1]

G'day,

I hope you can help me. Not only am I new to your web site but I am also new to casting. I do have access to a lot of Aussies who are helping me get started. Living in the outback puts me away from everything.

I would like a dual cavity mould with both cavitys throwing GC'd projectiles with one cavity allowing me to make HP projectiles. I would also like 200 .375 gas checks. I beleive this comes to US$113 which I can pay via Pay-Pal (plus shipping to Australia.

Where do I pay ?

Thx, John

[Dave Bulla]

tophet1,

If you go up the page two posts above yours, you will sadly see that the group buy for these molds has officially closed already...

However, I'm not the one running it. Maybe Robert will still be able to squeeze your order in but maybe not. That will be his call.

[no_1]

Since he contacted me and posted it here on the closing day then his order counts.

[tophet1]

Many Thx Guys. I appreciate it.

[ammohead]

Could someone describe the "Blammer deal" for me. I assume that it has something to do with gas checks, but I would like to hear the details.

Thankyou once again - a champion effort on your behalf! Kind regards Peter

[Dave Bulla]

Well shoot!

Robert, looks like I might have screwed up. I just went back and reread some of hte earlier posts and see that you said to add 3.5% if using paypal. I only did 3.0% since my paypal page showed a fee of 2.9% to receive money. Did I mess up or what?

Let me know please.

Thanks, Dave

[no_1]

Dave,

As long as we calculated correctly your cost, added for the shipping then added 3% then things should be good. When I get home I will access the PayPal account to see where you stand. If it is off I will send a PM.

Hey Guys,

Things seem to be working good. I have received 6 payments so far. I will post a list of payments received in a few days once those that have indicated they mailed have been received.
Robert

[j4570]

Paypal says it's $0.30 + 2.9%

so that's 2.9% plus 30 cents extra for the fee. Which is roughly 3% that a lot of people say but really isn't quite right. I rounded up a few cents to make sure there was enough after fees. And fees for foreign money are higher due to conversion. it's closer to 5% overall! But you will have to read the agreement as it's not real clear that's what happens with overseas.

JW

[no_1]

You are absolutely correct! I have not figured out the % cost for outside the US yet as it seems to differ by country. So far I am only out $1 for those that are outside the US. Such is life.....

R.
BTW, I don't even have a 9.3 gun.:groner:

[no_1]

I have searched the Paypal website and found the following concerning their fees. Transfers from inside the US are 2.9% + .30 USD. "Cross border" transfers are charged a rate of 3.9% + .30 USD. Verifying info can be found by following the link below.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-xborder-fees-outside&country=US&locale.x=en_US&pagetype=outside&bn_r=o

Please use these figures when calculating your payments.

[saskgunowner101]

I knew I should have got in on this buy......[smilie=b:

[Blammer]

PM NO_1, it may not be too late to get one! :)

[saskgunowner101]

Blammer:

I sent a pm to No_1 to see if I could sneak in under the wire and still get one ....got my fingers crossed.

[no_1]

This buy is now closed. Swede ask for the final count a few days back, I promised him I would get it to him a few days back but have been busy with some family "issues" on my end. Funds have been sent to DJ and the Blammer deal should be on it's way to my house any day now. I think we are 2 jobs out which means it is happening in the next week or so. Once they arrive at my house I will need a few days (read as at least a week) to re-package and get them back out. I will keep everyone posted on progress since it is happening NOW. :drinks:

In the mean time, please sit back, relax, enjoy the holidays my brothers!

Robert

[Blammer]

the day swedenelson post the pics of the finished moulds, watch the vendor selling section for a post with "extra's"

last time the extras sold out before I received the GB moulds! :)

no_1, GC's will be in tomorrow's mail.

[hornsurgeon]

boy, how long has this one been in the works.....years now? (if you include all the discussions!)

[no_1]

Too long but now it is finally coming to an end.[smilie=w:

[Dave Bulla]

:coffee:

Where's a good finger tapping emoticon when ya need one eh????? tic toc, tic toc....

[Blammer]

no_1, get the GC's yet?

[Dave Bulla]

Oh, and I'd also like to say thanks to you all for doing this. I'm sure it's been an ordeal that has lasted far longer than originally planned.

[no_1]

Just checked the mail. Not here yet.
R.


no_1, get the GC's yet?

[Hipporider]

Acknowledging thats its OK with the later delivery date. Cant seem to get email notifications of answers to this thread.

[Blammer]

hippo, you may have to subscribe to this thread, not sure.

also check to make sure your email addy is correct.

[Hipporider]

Hey Blammer,got the notification that time...maybe it times out sometimes if you dont poke your nose in often enough on the thread?

[Blammer]

na, I've got a thread I've subscribed to that I never visit but still get the emails on the new posts.

I need to figure out how to "unsubscribe' to it. LOL

[no_1]

Good news! A heavy box of "Blammer deals" arrived via priority mail today and the USPS priortiy mail boxes also arrived. I already had the bubble wrap & tape so we are now a few steps closer.

Woot Woot!

[sojerguy]

I'll be patient (as I have another 50 days here in sand land anyway). However .......... pics when availalbe please.

[jkingrph]

This has been going on so long I had forgotten. I browsed back and found that I had paid, Post 159. Any idea when we will receive the molds.

Thanks

[Blammer]

Good deal!

[frankenfab]

Cool! Does this mean that the .40/SW 10mm is about to be run? :drinks:Swede hasn't updated the production schedule in a while.

[hornsurgeon]

check out the thread under the sponsors section. it looks like all mold production is on hold till next year. so much for my christmas present.

[no_1]

My last conversation with Al indicates they will be shipped to me beginning of January.

Robert

[Gunsmoke4570]

I didn't get in on this buy, but if there are any over runs or extras keep me in mind :)

[sojerguy]

Ya know just because I'm feeling a bit squirrely, I bet we could make up a reaaaaaaly entertainng, tall tale of a rumor as to why it took this long for the mould.

Something like a 'Vesco' thing with absconded funds, and him being seen down in Puerto Vallerto with a semi-clad Rosie O'Donnell. Anyone want to add in some details???

------------------------

Can ya'll tell my time here in sand land is beginning to get to me ....... about 36 days and I'm outa here!

[ammohead]

If you want to link him to Rosie O'Dumbass I would wait until you get your mould first.

ammohead

[Dave Bulla]

Now now....Rosie is just misunderstood. So what if she's extremely anti gun, she at least didn't have a problem hiring an armed body guard for her and her kids right????:veryconfu Ain't her picture in the dictionary under hypocrite?

Wasn't it her show that Tom Selleck got up and walked off the stage when she started bashing guns? That was pretty cool and actually got some good publicity for a little while. Mr Selleck is one of hte few Hollywood types to publicly defend guns.

[Dave Bulla]

Hey Sojerguy, I think the Rosie O'Donnell comments just KILLED this whole thread... Not surprising really, I kinda spit up in my mouth a little when I think about her...

[sojerguy]

oh well ... a little oddly placed humor.

At least I didn't here someone else say something about 'boy george instead of Rosie...'

30 days until I fly!!!!!!!!!!!!

[no_1]

I really don't think yours will get shipped until after feb 5th.....

Your friend,

Vesco[smilie=l:

No1,

No one can say you don't have a sense of humor, it might be slightly twisted, warped and vengeful ..... but you have one. :kidding: and dealing with a bunch like us that's understandable.
------------------------------------------

After the 5th works for me.... as I'm not home until 20 Feb or thereabouts.

-----------------------------------------

Suppose I'd started the rumor about you and a topless Angelina Jolie instead, would that have gotten it to me quicker? :grin::D

[no_1]

Thanks for noticing!

I spoke with Al last week (I think) and he indicated they were still a little behind. I ask him to let me know when the funds are needed and when he does it will be our signal that they are either in work or finished. I will let y'all know when that happens.

Robert

BTW, with a rumor like that I would have made yours here at the house and personally deliver it!

Looks good - its on the mill.

Swede Nelson

[Hipporider]

Looks very good quality!

[Gunsmoke4570]

Very nice!!! Sorry I missed out on this one!

[jcunruh]

I have been squeezing .376 Renegade 245's down to .366 in my Saeco, seem to work well with 16g of 2400. would like to get a GC mould though

That is pretty! :lovebooli

and so is Angelina! :evil:

[ammohead]

Looks beautiful Swede! I can't wait to start feeding them to my Husky. (rifle that is)

[JesterGrin_1]

That is BEAUTIFUL almost makes a person wish to go out and find a 9.3 X 62 :)

[SwedeNelson]

Picked up moulds last night.
Cast with them first thing.
Dimensions Good, weight 274.3Gr. with my WW material
GC a easy fit.

(Just for you Dave)

Run the QC, box them up and get them out.

Thanks for the orders.
Swede Nelson

[Dave Bulla]

Yeeeeaaaaaaa Hhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww!

They sure do look purty. Could ya post a pic of the molds?

I love waiting for a package in the mail. This one is gonna be fun to get.

[ErikT]

Those boolits look beautiful! Just the thing to feed my 9.3 x 64. Jacketed stuff is getting expensive.....

[sojerguy]

See guys That slice of 'Angelina' cheese i posted must broke them out!!!

Yes I'll accept the thanks anytime now.. :popcorn:

[no_1]

Looks like they are on their way. Just in:

**** This is a post-only message. Please do not respond. ****

Dear ROBERT *******,

This ship notification is being sent to you by the U.S. Postal Service® at the request of AL ******. If the "Shipped To" address information is not correct, please contact the Shipper.

Where we are now: Once they get here I need to re-package them, add the GC's then ship them out.

Robert

[JesterGrin_1]

Makes one wonder if one could be made like that but in .361 Dia. But then again one may already be out there lol.

[frykasj]

That is awesome news... We're in the home stretch now, guys!

[saskgunowner101]

Woo hoo!!![smilie=p:

[Dave Bulla]

Now all I need is some handles!

Oh and a lead pot, ladle, thermometer, hardness tester.....ummmm......oh yea, some lead. :sad:

[hornsurgeon]

birthday present to me! (birthday isn't till feb but who cares with a present like this!)

my 9.3x57 will be happy!

[ammohead]

Outside of the blammer deal, where have people been finding gas checks for .366?

[frykasj]

The shank is cut to use standard .375 caliber gas-checks. Just makes it that much more easy to use. ;-)

[JesterGrin_1]

Outside of the blammer deal, where have people been finding gas checks for .366?

What is wrong with the Gas Checks from Blammer? As I have found them to work as well if not better than any of the Hornady's I have used.

Ok I took a min to look and it seems that at this time Blammer does not have any gas checks for the .375. But I would send him a PM to see when he may be able to get them in.

[SwedeNelson]

ammohead

Hornady .375 #7120 will fit.
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=381078
But Blammers deal is just as good or better.

Swede Nelson

[Blammer]

In about a month or sooner, I'll have some more 375's. I'm getting a list of what to order now.

375's are $24 per 1,000

[JesterGrin_1]

See there Ammohead Blammer will have them soon and really to be honest I feel they are better than the Hornady's. If I honestly did not feel this way I would not say so. I have used them and being cheaper then Hornady is even sweeter not to mention he is a contributing member of this forum.

[hornsurgeon]

GOT MY MOLD TODAY!!!!!

:kidding:


just kidding. sorry, i had to poke a little.

[nanuk]

This is what I HATE about this forum/site.

I have an old 8mm that could probably use a fat 323.

and I'm in the process of trading my .500BPE for a 9.3x62 on a commercial mauser.

Now... someone Please tell me this mould won't drop the right size for a commercial mauser please.... Or I'm gonna cry!

I'm always a day late and a dollar short!

[JesterGrin_1]

Sorry to say this Nanuk but it is time to cry lol. Since it is cast all you would have to do is size it. Maybe contact Swedenelson to see if he might have one extra by some remote chance.

And Congrats on the 9.3X62 But if he does not have one contact BaBore (BPR) molds as I am sure he can help you out with a good mold so all is not lost.

[SwedeNelson]

Just got of the phone with No_1
We have some miner problems with the
quantity of moulds that I sent him
and a miner glitch with some spru plates.
He is going to send out the moulds that
are not in question and send the balance
back to me.
We will get the problems worked out and
send out the remaining moulds from here.

Sorry for the delay.
Swede Nelson
