.41 WC Group Buy

[Leftoverdj]

We are now taking orders of a six cavity 200 grain .413 WC. The drawing should be posted soon. PM me to place an order, and I'll tell you where to send funds. Price looks like $58 barring price increases.

I'll be glad to ship to our non-US friends, but ask that they pay by PayPal and allow for extra postage. My bank charges a surcharge on foreign money orders.

I'm also going to need screen name, email address, and mailing info from everyone. Keeping up with who is whom can be a bear.

PM sent. Just can't hardly seem to resist these Group Buys anymore!

BTW; shouldn't this one be a sticky up with the other Group Buys?

[Cayoot]

Thanks for honchoing this one.

How long do you plan on running this for?

[Leftoverdj]

Looking at Sept 1st, depending on how the orders come in. Certainly not before then.

I'm counting on y'all to help spread the word. Feel free to post a link on any of the other boards you post on.

How is it going? Getting anywhere close on orders?

[Leftoverdj]

Very slow going. Spread the word.

[Bodydoc447]

I will be sending a check shortly. I just moved to Lubbock and haven't got my furniture yet. I am using the work computer now.

Doc

[porkchop bob]

Very slow going. Spread the word.

Payment for 2 molds sent about 2 weeks ago. Has it been received? Such a listing by ZIP code gives GB members a good idea of where we stand and encourage others to join. Those who may be interested are going to shy away if they get the impression this GB is just sitting gathering dust.

In advance, thanks for your consideration, Bob [29439]

[Bodydoc447]

I'll knock a cobweb or two out of Emmett's mail box. I sent my check in this morning. Will take a few days to get there, though.

............More options for OAL in various firearms. There is also a 3 crimp groove 38 cal group buy currently running. It's design is for the same reason.

Aw come on guys. Don't let this thing die on the vine.
Hell's Bells™ I'm on disability and I've scraped together enough for one.
I've been searching for two years for an affordable 41 wadcutter mold.
Here's one in our grasp, an original, unique design, and a six banger no less and everyone's dragging their feet.

I know there's been a lot of group buys lately. And some of y'all are spread a little thin, but dangit I really want one of these. ANd I think some of y'all really want one too.

If you can't afford it right now at least show some support and extend it.
Don't let it slip away.

[Leftoverdj]

I'm minded to cancel and refund. I have eight orders so far and see no prospect of reaching 25. Thought I would give all concerned a chance to comment first.

[BluesBear]

Well, if you decide not to cancel I'm in for two.

Depending on how long it lasts I might get more.
Unless there's a rule against reselling them.

[Bodydoc447]

I would be fine with dividing up the $100 set up fee by the number of participants or moulds. I have no problem paying an extra 10 or 12 bucks to get one of these moulds. I'd really kind of like to get one of these. It is a really nice design and would be great to have.

My dos centavos.

Doc

[fourarmed]

I'll go along with Doc. Set a closing date, and divvy up the $100 among the orders. That's assuming the others agree.

[BluesBear]

I'm the reloading moderator over on Club1911 dot com.
I just posted a notice over there regarding this group buy.
We're a small forum but hopefully we can get another order ot three.

I also posted one on another private forum I'm on.

I've been looking high and low for several years for a .41 wadcutter mould and they're harder to find than hen's teeth.
All I've seen is a couple of single cavity Lyman #41026 moulds on FleaBay that went for obscene prices.
And here we have a unique design that's too good to pass up in my opinion.
And it's a six cavity no less. Friends and neighbors as you already know that's a lot of bullets in a short amount of time.

Right now I'm on state disability from breaking my back in 2004 and money is damn tight. If the buy ended today I'm in for one.
If it waits until closer to the end of the month I'll take two.
Hell's Bells™ if I could, I'd buy a dozen.
I know they'd sell real well at the shows out here.

[KevMT]

I'll go along with Doc. Set a closing date, and divvy up the $100 among the orders. That's assuming the others agree.
I will do the same.

I have paid for two. Am willing to buy a third. Tell us how much extra to send you and lets make this GB history. Thanks, Bob.

[Hackleback]

I am intending to get in on this group buy. It will likely be near the end of this month before I am able to send a check. I have some obligations that must be taken care of first.

[Magnum Mike]

Ok, i am not a big fan of that triple crimp groove BUT i'm in! Every 41 fan NEEDs a 200 grain wadcutter! Gimme a week or so and i will get the MO sent.

[mattc]

if it takes paying extra (splitting the $100 setup fee) let me know and I will anty up my share

[fourarmed]

Mike, I agree about the triple crimp groove. I've never seen a full WC with even one. However, rather than hold up the works, I'm just thinking of it as a variegated lube groove.

[BluesBear]

But heretofore no one has bothered to design one that could be used in a lever action rifle.

Up to now they've just been for paper punching with revolvers.

This is a wadcutter for the 21st Century.

[fourarmed]

Well, I guess you know your shinola.

[BluesBear]

I know that this bullet is totally responsible for getting back into casting after a 15 year hiatus.

And I really don't like Lee anything. But I'm buying it.

And I really wish I hadn't given away all of my casting stuff years ago. [smilie=b:

[45 2.1]

Mike, I agree about the triple crimp groove. I've never seen a full WC with even one. However, rather than hold up the works, I'm just thinking of it as a variegated lube groove.

As a point of interest, both the Lyman wadcutters, #41026 & #41027, have crimp grooves.

[BluesBear]

Yes I had forgotten they did.

[Leftoverdj]

We're up to about a dozen orders and I am not going to cancel . New target date is early November. We'll either make the 25 by then or see who's willing to pay the shared setup fee. I'll get the list of those paid up posted this weekend. It'll be short, but a half dozen more want to buy and I have stalled them until it was clear I would not have to return checks.

Please spread the word about this buy on any other boards you frequent.

[BluesBear]

As I said before I'm in for two.

PM sent.

I'm dang glad this is happening.

Guys,

I would like in, but I won't have the money free until the end of the month the soonest, and more like the 15th of next month. If that is too late, sorry.

[Leftoverdj]

They are trickling in, folks. We're on track to order in early November. Keep spreading the word.

The Paypal request is just for outside the US. My bank charges me for foreign payments, even in US dollars. I'll take Paypal from anyone, but it's only important from outside the US.

[fivegunner]

when is the cut off date. ? :Fire:

Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to casting. I haven't started casting yet and don't know if I ever will but I need one of these moulds. I'm in. Thanks

Check for 1 mold going out in todays mail. Zip is 48415. Thanks for being patient on this one so some of us could have time to get the funds together. :)

[Uncle Grinch]

I just noticed this thread and as a 41 MAG fan, I found it very interesting.

FWIW...Lee used to make a 41 WC many years ago. I have one that weighs in at 210 grains, but it only has one crimp groove. The mould is marked LEE 410-208-WC

[Hackleback]

In the last couple of weeks several people have sent money for this GB.

How many moulds are we up to?

Thanks

[neerb]

M.O. went in mail on Monday. Thanks Dave

[Magnum Mike]

Are we there yet? Huh, are we? huh, huh?

[fourarmed]

Am I going to have to stop this car?

[BluesBear]

To be perfectly I am waiting for last call to see if I can afford two.
If not then I will be buying only one.

[Hackleback]

Last has been called by the Honcho. How many people do we have in on this GB???

What's the status of this group buy?:confused:

:-? :-? :-? ??????????:-? :-? :-?

[Magnum Mike]

What happened to this deal??

[BluesBear]

Last call was issued on 10-28-2006.
I haven't heard a peep about it since then.

[Hackleback]

The powers that be are aware of this issue. I was hoping that it would be resolved by now and we could move forward. I do not know what else to say about this.

[BluesBear]

I am concerned about the phrases, "this issue" and "resolved by now".

:confused:

As a participant in this group buy is there something I should know?
:?:
Did I miss a thread or an e'mail or something?

bluesbear@gmail.com

[KevMT]

Has anyone sent a PM to the honcho? Maybe he just hasn't looked at this thread in a while.

[Hackleback]

Kev

Yes, several times.

[BluesBear]

Does anyone really have any idea what's up?
I sent payment for one several weeks ago. and never heard a word.

If the problem is not enough to reach the minimum I can afford a second mould now and I'm more than willing to buy another one.
But I don't want to send payment to a black hole.

Personally I don't mind waiting as long as I know what's what.

[KevMT]

Yes, several times.

So did he respond? If so what did he say?

Kev

[Hackleback]

So did he respond? If so what did he say?

Kev

Sorry, I should have put that in the previous post.

No responce.

It appears he has been where (the CB site) awhile so I dont know if he is having other issues (health, work ...) or what.

[BluesBear]

I hope everything's okay.

As I understand it honchoing these deals is a lot or work.
I honchoed a group buy of NBC bullets (I'll never deal with those crooks again) and I know it can easily turn into a huge mess.

So I can understand if there is a delay or other unexpected problem.
All I'm asking for is an update.
If the order hasn't been sent I'd even like to order a second mould.

But seriously my main concern is that Emmet, and his family, is okay.
He's posted on the forum as recently as December 14 but it seems like he's been off since then.

[BluesBear]

I just looked online and my check hasn't cleared so I'm guessing that the order hasn't been sent to Lee.
:confused:

[Leftoverdj]

Easy, folks. I haven't gone anywhere and your money hasn't gone anywhere.

There was a delay in getting the drawings, and I got overtaken by Christmas. I'll get my mail caught up, and the order off to Lee by this weekend. Lee ain't gonna do nothing until after the New Year's anyway.

I'll try to get the updates posted by late tonight.

[rugerman1]

Thanks for the update Emmett:drinks:

[porkchop bob]

Good afternoon, Emmett.
If we did not have orders for 25 molds, please tell us how much to send you to make up the difference.
Thanks, Bob

[BluesBear]

Hi Emmett,

Glad to see you're okay.
I hope you had a good Christmas.
I understand quite well how things can all pile up at once.

And with all of the other group buys going in the backlog and wait times probably won't be much different anyway.


Happy New Year to you and yours.



By the by, did we reach 25?

[Leftoverdj]

Order went in the mail Wednesday. Blame Bush for that last day's delay. You can blame me for the rest. I fronted a few so we get the 25 mould price, and will be depositing checks this week.

PLEASE, place me on the waiting list...I've been kicking my self in the butt for procrastinating over this buy and then it was over.....if you have an extra, let me know and I will send out a MO post haste.

[Steve Collins]

If possible, you can put me on the waiting list also. I've just about got my father in law talked out of his Old Model .41 Ruger Blackhawk, so maybe the timing will be just about right on this one!:-D

[Senor Chisme]

I'm new to this process but as I understand it, the numbers listed are the zip codes of those who have already paid. I do not see my zip code on the list and I paid via Paypal on Oct. 19. Would you please check your records for zip code 75028. Thanks.

It's in. I'm degreasing one now. I'll cast a few and take measurements tonight. If that goes OK, I'll address them over the weekend and get them shipped Monday and Tuesday.
