    Merry Christmas to all!



    Well this has been an interesting season for me. The start up I was working for ran out of money early in Dec. so, using the time I have, I've spent the past couple of weeks casting boolits! So far 1500 9mm 125gr rn from a 6 cavity Lee mould..

    Interestingly enough, it took the first 1000 to break in the mould, then after that it was dropping perfect boolits! Now I have to make up some more alloy (5% antimony, 1% tin) and crank out another 3000 or so to keep from running dry this spring/summer!

    So, Merry Christmas to all (even the Hanukkah folk) especially those that have taken the time to answer my questions!

    Christmas

    Merry Christmas to everyone. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum who are generous with there time and expertice. I cast better boolits and shoot the boolits I cast with more accuracy.

    But Merry Christmas anyway and I do mean Merry Christmas, not happy Hollidays.

    Merry Christmas to all! Meant sincerely, even though He was probably born in the spring. His birth is well worth commemorating even if its the wrong day.

    Da, tovarichi--Merry Christmas to all from People's Republic of Californistan.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    Me too, A very merry Xmas from Julie and myself. Also let me thank everyone for all the help I have gotten in the past. Never a harsh word and never made me feel bad when I asked a dumb question. even when I asked it three times three different ways.
    May everyone be happy and safe.

    Merry Christmas from Kirkuk, Iraq!

    Midnight Mass last night was especially nice as we had some 81mm "eastern stars" appearing over the city.

    Merry Christmas to all from Baghdad! Going to Christmas lunch/dinner here soon; the family is together in Texas.

    Thanks to all here who have been so supportive this last year; I look forward to getting home, breaking in my new GB molds and getting into casting all the time!
