Ok...here it goes. DJ, aka Blammer will soon post the design and dimensions. It will be in the 280 grain range. It will be available in plain base or gas checked and solid or hollow point nose types. NOE will be the maker with his usual pricing. Rob...aka No.1 and I will honcho the buy, you'll be sending the money to Rob. Once you see the design place your name on the list. Any questions feel free to PM me. We believe this boolit while not perfect is the best compromise for a lot of rifles. As stated before the 9.3x62 is the hardest to satify because of it short neck. The design allows for some latitude in seating depth. I think we can get the 15 needed but if not we'll run it as a small group buy. With Rob and I we only need 13 more.
And a BIG thank you to Rob for handling the paper work and shipping, this is no small task guys. And a MONSTEROUS thanks to DJ. For those of you who don't know him Darrell is a really great guy who always accomodates the design whims of a number of us. He does very nice work and never asks for a single penny or a free mold. He and Rob have fianlly made this a reality.
Gentlemen and Fellow members,
The 9.3 Group Buy is Now Open. The planning thread can be found here: http://www.gunloads.com/castboolits/...230#post768230
Dj (Blammer) will provide and post the drawings as required very soon. These molds will be produced by Night Owl Enterprises (NOE). Scott (shooter93) will handle all questions about design and I will handle the paperwork, funds, contact with Al, receipt from Al and final shipment to you.
We will keep this one open for 6 weeks. If we don't get the required 15 then we will have to chip in a few extra $$ each to make it a go. The prices found here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...30&postcount=1 are current. To save you time from looking I have cut/pasted the prices below. Be aware that there will be shipping charges on top of the price listed. USPS has a new flat rate box that is pretty small that should fit your mould fine. I will require you add insurance and delivery comfirmation to your mould because once it leaves my hands I have no control over it's destiny. I anticipate these additional charges should not exceed $10 per person unless you live outside the US. If you do, please contact me by PM to make arrangements.
As a clarifier, this will be a no profit deal for me to honcho it however If you feel you owe Dj, Steve or me something for our work please use the donate button located here: http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/...page=donations follow the directions and reference this group buy as the reason for your donation. Any an all donations will be used to benefit our site.
This Group Buy is for a 9.3 mould that can be had in non-GC, HP or combination of GC / non-GC / HP.
Night Owl Enterprise does not accept credit card but they do accept paypal (+3%), money order or personal check. I will send a personal check to them since it is the most cost effective method of payment. I will call for money in about 2-3 weeks. I will accept your personal check or a postal money order but want to have them deposited so they can sit in my bank at least 10 days before I send MY check to NOE. I am not saying that anyone will stiff me but as we all know, stuff happens.....
