Trying to help a young man!

woops. double post

What's left that he needs?

I've probably got some spare 9mm or 45 ACP dies laying around. I'm in the business, so we've got plenty of stuff. Now, what he gets for dies sure isn't going to be nothing special, so, I'd rather give them to a new reloader that's got a tight budget than sell them.

Let me know here what you need, plus shoot me a PM.

Currently laid up with a cast, so I probably won't be able to fish them out for a couple weeks, but I'll try to get my help on it, if I know what you need.

All I'll ask in return is a few pics of the results (targets). Digital pics are perfect, and cost nothing to post. I already know both of you appreciate any help you get.

Sent PM, Pic's are not a problem. My neighbor gave him a old heavy wood desk with the postal like top piece, so now his loading stuff will all be mounted to that instead of in front of his computer. Going to work out good.
Thanks

So now that he has a big, heavy postal desk, he has a better setup than a lot of guys, especially ME! ha ha!!!

I'm sure anxious to see how this all works out for this young man. ALWAYS nice to see someone who wants to mentor/tutor somebody new to our pursuit, eh?

I'll be sending regular shell holders, a partial bullet puller and a Lyman 45 Lubrisizer less top punch and die. Also filling out some of the odd stuff.

wow!! A lubrisizer too! Man, the best bunch of guys ever. I gotta say, I've had a REALLY difficult past few weeks with a bunch of HR baloney at work and being part of this and seeing it unfold really makes me feel good!!

[300winmag]

We worked setting things up this morning it is coming together, thanks to all of you that has helped out. The top piece of the desk will not fit, to tall.
Put up a new light over the bench.

What a COOL setup! Happy we were able to get this young man started.

I wonder if you could just cut down the back shelves? they would work well for organization and storage, I'm sure.....

[Nickle]

Hey, I can throw a sizer die and expander in the box I'm working on.

Might not be carbide, but we'll see.

[RKJ]

I can send 100 each .45 acp and 9mm. They're mixed pickups and Military, but I haven't had any major problems with the Military brass, if it doesn't seat easily I use my pocket swager. If he doesn't have one, I've used a pocketknife with good results. Let me know.

[Nickle]

I'll throw something in the box I'm putting up that he can ream primer pockets with. Probably an older chamfering tool. Still good, but I have several already.

[Nickle]

Got a Belding & Mull powder measure in today from an eBay bid. Got another one inbound.

So, I'm going to throw a modified RCBS Uniflow measure in the box too. It's a benchrest oriented conversion, I've got no clue who did that one, I just now it isn't like my original one, nor like my Masker conversion one.

[RKJ]

300 I haven't gotten to the PO, but after my encounter with Bambi, I'm still moving slow. (but still moving) They're wrapped up and ready and if they geyt loose in shipping someone was trying to tear it up. Don't give up on me I'll get them out to you as soon as I can. Joe

300WM, They're on the way. They went out Thursday/Friday. With the meds the Docs have me on since my deer encounter it's hard to tell which day it is.
