    The White Elephant Gift.

    About 4 years ago I gave my friend a Ponsness Warren 800C progressive shot shell loader. He is now upset with me as he can use up about $1000 in shot shell loading components in under 5 hours.
    Some people are never happy.
    Go now and pour yourself a hot one...

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    That's awesome! Did you make it from a pattern? Is the pattern available? I'm not much of a woodworker, but I might be able to make something like that. My bible study group has a white elephant gift exchange at our Christmas party every year. I would love to bring something like that.

    Tried setting up a progressive Hornady press once and made a ton of shells before I got it set up. Eventually sold it for a loss. I’ll stick with my little Bair/ Pacific presses. Much easier to use.

    I once cut out a wooden circle and attached stick on letters that said T U I T and gave as a white elephant gift. After all who isn’t going to get “around to it” someday?��

    What is it?
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.
    John Taylor - "African Rifles and Cartridges"

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
