Well, I talked to badwaterbill on the phone earlier, he seems like a real nice old coot!
bdicki, i received the package today. Thank you.
I have an extra RCBS powder trickler that I can send your way, if you need it. Might be useful in getting the exact powder loads for the 94.
Let Me know what U are still in need of .. like scales, powder throw, press ect.
God Bless

Ok, I *finally* got the brass boxed up today! It's not much, and by not much, I mean 23 pieces of range pick up. I'm pretty sure it's once fired. I'll drop it in the mail on my way in to work this morning.
I do need a scale. For immediate loading with the lee loader, i need a scale, calipers,and soon, a case trimmer and deburr/chamfer tool. A powder measure would be good to have. I dont have a press, and will need one so i can start loading for the pistols we saved. 45, 38/357, and 380acp are the calibers for those. Course i'll need dies. I plan to cast for all of them, and will use the lee bullet sizing dies.
I had a just a basic loading setup before, single stage press, lee powder measure, used dies. Nothing fancy, except i had an ohaus 10-10 scale, but i am content with anything provided it works.
We leave in the morning for the other farm an wont be back tell mid week will put a package with all I can for U then. I think I can fill everything except the 380 dies.
Will fill the extra empty space with 45 and 357 brass befor shipping.

I appreciate everyones help very much. It has brought tears to my eyes a couple times. I finally am back to doing what i love. I chased down powder, primer, and few jacketed bullets already for the 30wcf.
Well i made some rounds with the lee loader, just 10. I had misfires. Looked like i didnt seat the primer enough as it was a light strike and another hit or 2 on the primer set the round off. Having never used the lee loader, i wasnt sure how hard to hit it. Will give it another go though soon.
I know. They all were flush, or below, the below flush ones is the ones that im thinking went off first try. I was scared of whacking them too hard with the tool, as it was my first time using the lee loader. I liked it though, once i get the hang of it, it'll be a neat thing to keep in a pack for hunting or whatever.
Care package all wrapted up and will be dropped off at the Postoffice tomorrow. Be safe with all Your reloading.
God Bless
