An old friend of many years joined today. Gannbo and I served in the Navy together.

Gannbo needs some help getting started casting.

GANNBO is already set up to load jacketed. He bought a RCBS LAM and heater. No sizing dies yet.


He needs help with 45-70. I have a mould, sizing die, and top punch for him. So 45-70 is taken care of!

He needs help with 357 Rem Max. I have the sizing die and top punch taken care of. He wants to buy a mould, but he can't post a WTB in S&S yet. I am suggesting the RCBS 190 SWC because there is load data for that. I have already sent him some Boolits from a H&G 200 SWC mould, but neither of us have loaded and shot any yet. He has loaded some, but he has not shot them yet.

He also needs a lead on a lead pot.

Lyman 358627, very good bullet for the Max and I do not have a Max. One version of it fed well in my 1894 Marlin, this is not it. Interested?

Are You going to start him with a dipper or bottom pour?

I found a dipper pot.
He had already ordered a dipper.
He will be using SC and DC moulds.

I do believe we have the essentials covered.
We can all use extras or a deeper larder of supplies.
Two of us will be sending alloy. I've got sizing dies and top punches covered. Moulds and handles are covered.
It should work out smoothly.

You know you've just cursed him, and invited Mr. Murphy to come and play! ;)

BTW, is this a friend I used to know? Or somebody I can tell tales to who's never heard them before?
