    Gun show mould

    I think I might be needing to ask for forgiveness, guys. This past weekend we had a gunshow in town. I've been really under the weather for a couple weeks now and wasn't planning on going to this one. A friend from across the state asked if I would pick up some primers for him, so I volunteered to go Friday afternoon when the show opened and pick them up. Since I was already there I quickly scanned the show. On one table was a coffee can about 1/4 filled w/what appeared to be 158 grn. .358 semi wadcutters. They'd been in that can for a long time, as they were covered in dust, dirt and grime. Also , sticking up out of the can was a set of mould handles attached to a four-holer mould. The price for all was $10. Now remember, I've been fighting the crud, and obviously wasn't in my right mind.....anyways' that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Honestly, I can't believe how stupid I was to walk away from that! I hope this isn't a sign of deteriating mental capacity as I'm not really that old yet. Will I ever be able to redeem myself?
    Regards, Rick

    Bad Rick,,Bad bad. One thing I do know.Every mould at any gun show I attend gets my fingerprints on it.No matter who takes it home. :]
    We could give you a pass for being sick though. Maybe we should do a poll?
    If shooting,fixing,making and thunking were easy.Everyone would be doing it.

    Were you at that Gun Show on April 1st? Is this another "leg puller?" Or do you really need to be "put down" for terminal CRS, like me?

    I only wish it were an April Fools' joke, C1PNR. The sad truth is I botched it, big time. I do remember that it was a Lyman. Must have been temporary insanity, yea, thats what it was. Now I remember! (sob, sob)
