I don't know, maybe this is not the correct place to post this but it involves boolits so here goes:
I enjoy casting boolits and prepping them for shooting. I have a friend that has stood by me, for years, through thick and thin. He has been generous with me to a fault and we share a lot of the same passions including collecting firearms and shooting. Whenever a mold up a batch of boolits and lube and size them I try to divvy them in 2 and give him half as a way of saying thanks.
Lately my new 311284 mold from the group buy has been receiving all my attention and I've cast a lot of them. Even Fred's half of the batch amounted to something like ten pounds or more.
Here's the warped and twisted part. I took Fred's batch to the post office today and got the smallest of those flat rate shipping boxes and crammed it absolutely full of 311284's. Like I said, it weighs something close to or over 10 pounds. For some reason I take great delight and shipping a brick of lead like that via the Post Office's flat rate. That simple act just made my day.
