    Sounds like a very worthwhile addition.

    Thanks for your effort, sir.

    Thank you Char-Gar. I like what Bill suggested, for your sake and for long term availability of your contribution.

    Thanks, Char Gar, for taking the time to share this. It will certainly help me.

    You must have a small fortune wrapped up in custom sizing dies.

    OK..It took me a while, but I sent out over 200 copies of the document to those who requested. A few bounced back due to full mail boxes etc. I did a copy and paste from your PMs, so I should not have made any keyboard errors. There were a few folks who requested the document, but didn't include an email address. I answered their PM with a request for the email addy.

    Many of you included some warm words in your mail and told me some interesting things about what your were doing in cast bullets shooting. I did not respond to each email individually but send the document out in batches. Even though I did not give a personal response, I appreciated the warm words and interesting information.

    I will check back in a few days and see if those stray email addresses show up. If they do, I will send out the document.

    Those that have the document also have my email address and if I can be of assistance to you, just let me know.

    In due time, this document will be a down load on Cast Bullet Engineering site. If you are not familiar with these folks they make and sell bullet molds in Australian. They make some very good molds and I have several. They are the "go to" place for fat 30 caliber bullet molds for the 303 British, Krag and others.

    Thanks to the suggestion and assistance of Ed Harris, this and other articles I have written will appear on Hensley and Gibbs site. I am looking forward to setting down my experience, musings and pontifications for others to read. If you have not gone there to read Ed's Black Creek Diary, you really should.

    I want to give a heart felt thanks to Mark Daiute a good and true Maine man for the proof read and edit. It was indeed appreciated by me.

    I received my copy of your article. Looks like lots of good information that will save me hours of re-inventing the wheel.

    Thanks.

    Got mine, again a sincere "thank you", I have read it the first of many times, and plan to print it and keep a copy in my range "stuff" to give out to potencial new cast shooters. I get more and more interested parties since components have gone out of sight, both in cost and lierally! Now I have something concise and complete to help them along their quest.

    I will continue to honor requests for email copies until tomorrow (June 3) when I go to bed. Then the document will no longer be available from me through this site.

    Feel free to share this with other individuals if you think it will be helpful. As far as posting it online, I would like to make the decision as to when, where and how that is done.
