Thank you for your input. It kind of looks like a dim light at the end of the tunnel. Hope its not another train. I must say when I get this mold, it is going to be put in a place of safe keeping. I don't know what I would do if the first day I get this mold I drop it on the concrete. Anyway, I appreciate all the efforts put into completing this arduous group buy.

Regards,
Everett R.

Well, now it has been so long that a few jokes might be O.K. as some of us have expressed our serious thoughts...

Maybe Mr. Lee is going to autograph each one individually--that would make them real keepers...

I know I wouldn't use mine if it came with the signature!...BCB

This wasn't a critical bullet for me, so when it comes it, it comes in. I'm not going to sweat the details.

Personally I'll agree with Old Ironsights, mainly because I have one Lyman 358101 mould left and it is unused. I've been busy enough this year to have had my shooting limited and the stock pile of these is smaller but will last a while yet.

Regardless of where the blame is put Lee's quality has always been sufficient for me (and I'm quite fussy) they have always made good on the few problems I have had and they do have the price. I can see more Lee in my loading room in the future. That's as I see it.

I received this from Pat at Lee in response to the aforementioned letter emailed to them.

" Mr. Henry's mold will be
one of the next to be produced. I drew up the
cutter this week, and will submit the purchase
order to the vendor who makes them for us next
week. We usually get the cutters in two
days. We should be able to make the 360-75-WC
sometime next week. Thank you (and everyone on
Castboolits) for you patience these last 6
months. We have experienced an explosion in
demand unlike any I have seen in the 20 years I
have been here, and I have heard John (Mr. Lee)
saying the same thing to other customers, and he has been here for 35 years."

So that sounds very positive.

Whoo Hoo.

Hey Ya'll,
Now that's a positive sign ! I just made a top punch in anticipation of this very bullet arriving..
Maybe I'll get to use it before hunting season arrives.... We'll see.
Stay safe

Wow, there maybe a light at the end of the tunnel. Just wanted to drop a note and let JD know I am still here. Can't wait to get this one in!

Pardon me if I don't hold my breath awaiting the arrival of this mystical mould but maybe........just maybe.........my final Lee product will be added to my inventory.

If its true good things come to those who wait, this mould should operate itself!

Fingers crossed......

are the molds getting sent to jd or someone else. i have since moved and need to send my address to someone.

LEE sends the moulds to JDHenry, so you might want to give him a current address.

Got a reply from John Lee on the letter I sent on7/4/09. He appologized for the extreme delay stating he has had a four to six fold increase in sales across his entire product line and nearly all of his resources are taken producing his standard product line. That it would not be fair to the sixteen orders ahead of ours to put us in front of the line. They try to produce the custom orders in the order they are received. States the order should ship within the month.

[Lucky Joe]

Thanks hicard. That sounds promising. Nice problem, increase in business.

[happy7]

Got my 50 cal group buy molds today from Lee. Sounds like Hicard got a different story, but Pat did tell me on the phone that our 75 WC was next after mine. My GB was shipped Monday, so they should be making these things right now. Of course by time Jeremy gets them and ships them out will it will still be a couple weeks before we get them.

All in all, it's looking up.

Well guys i about had to go to the hospital last night when I got home......There were some big boxes laying by my front door.........I opened them and there were a bunch bullet molds........So they are finally here.

I am leaving in about an hour for vacation and will be back on August 13th.. I'll cast up some that night and if all is well I'll start shipping them the next morning (14th).. I opened up a few and they look good and cut clean no burrs.


Jballs918........... P.M me your new address so I have when I get back
