Just got the Midway clearance e-mail, looked at their clearance boolits.
Just last night I had a casting session for some new molds.
I cast 208 of the GB 45 283 Keith. Midway is selling a CLEARANCE price
45 cal 225 RFlat for "only" 16 cents each plus shipping. :shock:
So my 208 are worth about $33
I did 110 of the Lyman 311466 155 gr, nearest by weight was about 12
cents each, so that is $13. If you figure in the GC, that has to hit about
20 cents, so it'd be more like $22.
277 of the Ranchdog 311 165 .30 cal, the nearest clearance is the 162 gr
38 cal at 13.2 cents each, so that batch is worth about $37. With the GC they
have to cost at least 20 cents each, for more like $55.
I made about 100 of the Lee 150 gr .311 RN GC, and that would be sold at
about 13 cents plus a GC, so maybe 20 cents each. So those are worth $20
even on clearance prices.
The last batch was about 100 of the Lee 180 RN .311 GC, so this has to be
about 22 cents or so, adding another $22 for the evenings recreation.
Looks like I turned a couple of bucks of wwts into well over a hundred bucks worth
of boolits, of course I'll have to add the GC cost, but still a real bargain.
I LIKE IT !! :drinks:
By the way - the Ranchdog Lee 6 holer drops the boolits without so much
as a tap - just like dumping ball bearings from a spoon. Crack the mold, six
new boolits hit the towel. What a wonderful mold! Hat off to Ranchdog and
to Lee for making as perfect a mold as I have used.
