Thinking on it and on what mdatlanta said in his email or pm's. I'm leaning more toward Saturday morning as a much easier time to get together based on Atlanta traffic. There's a gas station and a Waffle house at that intersection. I'm thinking the Waffle House.

The last check is in. I am depositing the checks today and will place the order today or tomorrow, depending on if I have time today when I get back home.

Somebody's driving in from Texas to get in on this powder order?
They vacation in the area. They're having a friend pick up the powder.
Smart way to save if one has such an opportunity I think.
Dave
Gentlemen,
Here is the final total for the group buy:
1 Jug HS-6
4 Jugs WC846
& Jugs IMR7383
2 Jugs WC860
3 Jugs WC820PD
1 Jug Solo 100
The total, including shipping, was $978.55. Not bad for a few country boys. Pat said "Wow, three six packs." (grin)
I placed the order with Pat this morning. He had everything in stock, but is pretty busy, so it'll be around 2-3 weeks before it actually ships. I'll keep you posted.
This group buy is officially closed for orders. Thank you all for participating.
Regards,
Dave
Sent Pat an email today to check on things and got back the standard response of 2-3 weeks and a one line email. I was left with the strong impression they are pretty swamped right now, so patience is definately a virtue. I know they're only a two man operation and apparently the orders are about to bury them, so please be patient.
I suspect the same may be true of all small one and two man powder dealer operations right about now.
Regards,
Dave
Got an email from Pat tonight. Here's a cut and paste:
"It is going tomorrow, Brian and Don did up 140 jugs of powder last night, you happened to be on top of pile, thanks Pat, coming in 3 cases."
Regards,
Dave
Credit card got hit today for $980.79. I had estimated $978.55, so shipping must have went up a couple bucks. No big deal.
Looks like our powder is on the way in three big boxes. Pickup is either this Saturday morning or next Saturday morning, depending on when it arrives.
Dave
Gentlemen,
The powder has arrived, I've checked the packing list, our list and labeled everyone's boxes so they get their stuff. We got everything and everything was received in great shape.
Right now I'm trying for Saturday, March 3 at 9AM for the pickup date, but may delay it until next week if I cannot contact everyone. I will be sending out IM's and calling the folks whose phone numbers I have. Please contact me by phone this evening if I don't have your phone number. I will be pm'ing my phone number as well as emailing.
The meeting place will be the intersection of Hwy 316 and Hwy 8 at the Waffle House there. This is the turn off of Hwy 316 for Dacula. I'll be driving a red 2004 (Square version) Ford F150 work pickup truck with a grey interior. If I'm not in the truck, I'll be in the Waffle House with a Kahki/yelow baseball cap that says Hunter in green letters.
Regards,
Dave

I can meet tomorrow, no problem.
Dave, I'll send my number by email.
Man, looks like you guys have all the fun
We couldn't pull off a group buy like that in Texas on a dare.
There would be a riot at the Waffle House for sure

Dave,
I was born there in '64. I have visted once but sure would love to go back. If I was closer I would meet you for coffee in the morning.

Gentlemen,
I've heard back from everyone, so the meeting is officially on for tomorrow morning at 9 A.M. I'll try to get there early, drink a cup of coffee and hang out long enough to get everyone an opportunity to get there through the various Atlanta traffics.
Regards,
Dave
Powder delivered and a pleasant morning drinking coffee and spending a few minutes with other shooters. Please post how the various powders do for you and what you loaded them in.
Regards,
Dave
It was good to meet everyone this morning! Thanks for putting it together Dave!
Bill
I always just assumed that all the Waffle Houses in Texas sold reloading components as a public service, Slick.Man, looks like you guys have all the fun

Thanks again for honchoing this deal, Dave. Enjoyed meeting you and the other participants.
