    How do I get George to stop by my house?

    I've got some brass I've accumulated over time. It's nothing too major but there's a few common calibers and a few less common calibers. I need George to come and take it off my hands. Little bit of 7x57, little bit of 270wtby, little 270win, little bit of 40, little 38. I have a bit of 308 as well. Free to a good home if you can use it.

    It would also help if he left me a case prep station! My hands are getting too beat up at work to keep doing this stuff

    I'll try to add some more later as well.

    One thing I know (from experience) is that you don't choose George..... George chooses you. And, often at the least convenient moment.
    Unlike Santa, who you can at least count on showing up on a particular date (and approximate time), George seems to sneak in and out when you least expect it.

    And, he doesn't seem to care whether you are sick and sending out fluids from both ends, or whether you have been saving that special bottle of bourbon for a special occasion, or whether your mother in-law popped in unexpectedly.

    While Santa seems to like cookies of any flavor, and the reindeer appreciate the carrots I leave out.... That George bugger seems to prefer distilled spirits, and I'm not talking about ingredients for making Red Oil. Maybe you have been leaving the wrong kind of bottle under your pillow. LOL

    He is a unique character.
    Maybe some Unique?
    Then a little scotch to wash it down?

    Is George more a Bullseye connoisseur, or more into Unique, or a slow powder sorta guy (Like H4831)?

    You could try piling the brass on your workbench beside an expensive bottle of bourbon and leaving your garage door open all night. In the morning the brass might still be there, but the bourbon and your car will probably be gone. It might be better to just list the brass as being available in "Helping Hands."

    Scotch, bourbon, unique, bullseye... George has good taste. Sent a message off to toot already. And I'm all out of scotch.

    On a semi related note, Costco has a nice center bottle of Glen levit. I really like the 15 but this one is only about $35. Not bad for the price.
