BTSinper Anticipation AA meeting

[clodhopper]

My name is Clodhopper, I am a bullet swager.
I find myself checking the vendor sponser section twice a day or more, hoping for BTS to ship some more tools.
Being down the list some, my tools are still weeks away at best.
Just can't help my self.

It's hard to wait for Christmas, even worse when you don't know what day it is.

Really, I need to focus on something else.

Just got off the phone with the Nitride facility, they are taking their time doing it right with this latest batch they informed me. I told them that I'll wait for quality and keep me informed. Typically they are able to turn my dies in about two weeks or less. This shipment though is 3 times more dies then I have ever sent them so it is taking them a little while longer.

I'll be continuing to put together as many dies as I have currently available and getting them to you all as soon as possible.

Thank you all as always for your patience.

Good shooting and swage on!

May-be some 12 step if you know what I mean.

Step 1: Admit you have a problem
Step 2: Seek help for the problem.

I have a pile of MiHec molds, a ton of lead bars just begging to be cast up.BTS 22lr swaging dies and a large flat rate box of fired 22lr cases ready to be processed. All of this just beggin me to come home and to get to work. I get to take a look at them when I go home for R&R but to much to do around the house for the short period of time I can make it home for. It will be like Christmas when I make it home sometime this year.

Hi, I'm Just Bill and I have a problem......................................!

[clodhopper]

Amen to come home safe.

So in the 12 step program, is scrounging all the soft lead I can step 3?
Or just swirling around before getting sucked under?

I can feel your pain, I just checked the list for the * time and the red has not descended in to the next zone, always so close but no cigar (dies).

[clodhopper]

I have fallen, bought 30 cal bullets yesterday, loaded them this morning, going to shoot them today.

I may have found some kindred spirits...

Have you heard of Christmas in July??

[just bill]

Oh boy, since the 430's are on the way, does that mean the .458's are close? Since 458 is closer to 430 than 500.

"I received notice my 430 dies shipped today from nitride facility. I expect to have them here by end of week.

Brian"

[BT Sniper]

430 dies total

[clodhopper]

Hi, My name is Chuck and I swage boolits..

I was once like you. I saw the nice dies he creates (up close and personal!) then sent him a PM. That pushed my derby car over the bump and started the downhill race. First it was Paypal, then it was seeing his taunting posts of how awesome the dies were progressing.. It only fueled my desire more...

And then there were the videos. Duke in (formerly Maine) Florida posted the pneumatic derimming setup.. Oh if only I could get some time at home! Next, BT made videos of the process.. I was in agony. Lurking around the forum, checking posts here and there... I had to remind myself that I was an early adopter and funding the development of great dies, but no.. I wanted them -- No WILLED them to appear, delivered by my friendly Brown Truck driver, or even the Blue Uniformed Jeep driver but no!! More taunting posts!!!

Until finally. One day.. My wife calls me at work. "Are you expecting a package from Oregon?" The day couldn't end soon enough! I couldn't get home fast enough! When I finally made the arduous trek out the Mass Pike, I found a box!

There was a hand-scribbled note on the end: "Lee".. But that's not MY name.. Oh Yeah! Duhh! Out came the dusty box containing the Classic Cast press I had ordered for reloading the 50BMG I don't have (yet). A quick setup and I opened the box. I read every word on the papers BT had included, savoring each misspelling. I had to set these dies up right the first time and produce some seriously beautiful swaged boolets! But then it hit me.. I hadn't de-rimmed any 22s!!

NOOOOOOOO!O!!!!!!!
