I never complained about the PA63 again.

Holbrook is suspect.
I'd bet the local sheriff has a thought or two about the theft.
As to the Doc, He already made his deal. It belonged to him when it went missing.

That powder measure would go a long way towards helping a new reloader I know.
I bought him a Lee press, a Lee Ram Prime, and Lee 41 mag dies and the appropriate shell holder for the primer.

I built a few racks a while back. I had a friend post pictures as I am nearly moronic when it comes to the art of computering stuff.

These must be leftover from when I was shooting black powder toys.

This is what I do after 22 years with the company.
I had some good teachers along the way who hammered 2 things home.

Matches closely with my experience with them.
First time, it for the motor on my Power Trimpro where I fully expected a"Sorry, that's electrical" response. The second time was for a missing seater...

My thoughts exactly.
I work in this field for a metal fab operation, you'd be surprised how smoothly or roughly things can go.

I have some WWII vintage 30-06 and some 60's vintage 308 that's been through the press a few times.

Looks great.
If I ever get some Lyman 4 cavity handles (and the back-ordered molds ever show up) I'll hope for results like that.

Here's a swap for you.
A favorite here is grilled PB & J. Trust me, it's delicious.

Thanks for the great thread.
We actually have small sailboats here in Arizona. More than you might think. I'm sure there are a few in similar shape out there.

We did the Pod thing when we moved last time.
That's an awesome way to do it.
You get a week to decide what you want in there and load it.

I paid 30 bucks for the last bucket.
I wound up with about 2/3 of the bucket of COWW. The remaining third was a pretty even split between stick on weights and scrap.
