38 special up for grabs

[Joe504]

Well Damn, I was fixing to throw that lee mold at him is there anything I can ship to you Brett?

I can cover the hollow stick lube. I have a 4500 so I assume it will work in a 450. Also how are you looking for 9MM brass? I have some mixed HS that I can throw in the box.

His new mould is a RCBS DC 38-148-WC. He could surely use a SWC or RN design.

[Brett]

I don't know how to thank all of you. Your generosity is truly overwhelming.


Pull the trigger,
Thank you for starting this thread and for the outpouring it has inspired. Thanks for the Boolits and Brass.

BrassMagnet,
I can't even start to list my thanks for all you are doing for me.

Joe504,
BrassMagnet and I discussed on the phone that I should look into getting a SWC or RN mould as the kids might mistake a wadcutter for a empty or blank shell. So while I couldn't ask for more than the board is doing I would be truly grateful for the mould you offered.

starreloader,
Thank you for the brass. It will take a while to get through it but I am looking forward to it.

beezapilot,
Thank you for offering the press I am sure whoever gets it will feel as blessed as I do now.

BruceB,
Thanks for your post with advice about 38s and 9mms. I wouldn't have known where to start.

Tx reloader72,
Thanks again for the boolits. Having some ready to load and to test will let me get the kids out to the range quicker.

gspgundog,
Thanks for the stick lube, I have a small amount of 9mm brass but I could always use more. Thank you.


To Everyone,
Thank you, give me time, I will try to think of a better way to say that.

Hey Guys,

We did a youth Shotgun class on Saturday. Thought you might like to see some pics. We had 8 for NRA first steps shotgun and shotgun merit badge. We did the three hour course then stayed on the range for another three hours. 3 of the boys had to leave early but the 5 who stayed were all able to get the merit badge. They have to hit 25 out of 50 clays.

I am the one in the neon vest.

[pull the trigger]

Keep those kids shootin!!! Great job!!!!

[Brett]

Wow, it is like Christmas at my house today.




I took the sizer apart and completely cleaned it. I would like to replace the o-ring in the base If any one knows of hand what it is. I have assembled the powder measure and the mold, I cant wait to try them out.

[Brett]

Thanks starreloader. I think my mailman is starting to wonder about these heavy boxes. Just wait till he sees Tx reloader72's box.

[Brett]

More boxes arrived today.


Thanks Pull the Trigger


Thanks gspgundog


Tx reloader used brass instead of packing peanuts. The box was so heavy the mail carrier didn't get it all the way to the door.

Thank You All. I am overwhelmed.

ps What do you think of the acrylic stand I made for the little dandy?

[BrassMagnet]

Cool!

[Tx reloader72]

Thats slicker-than-snot on a pump handle!!!

[plmitch]

Thats a neat idea there on that stand.

I'm retired and new to reloading and could use some 38 brass and boolits for startup.
I have friends collecting lead and cases from ranges.
I don't own a press yet but thinking of getting one of those $30 lee loaders to start.
I have a Ruger "old style" SA convertible revolver.
Looking for some advice and help. Thanks, Tom

If you want to work 12 hour days for a 3 day weekend to load 100 rounds of ammo the Lee loader is a great choice. It is also a great choice for a backup/portable plan.
A single station press is a much better choice. A turret press would be even better than a single station press as you would only have to adjust the dies once and could come back and load some more.

trys357,
take a look at this one from Titan Reloading. Its aluminum but it works well for learning on. I have one I use to size bullets. Standard Dies/shellholders fit.

I'd send ya mine but I need it.

"If you want to work 12 hour days for a 3 day weekend to load 100 rounds of ammo the Lee loader is a great choice."

Obviously, you are exaggerating to make a point, but you can do 60 rounds an hour. I like using them. The logic behind this dictates we all use 1050s as anything else is too slow and a waste of time.

[trys357]

Thanks for the advice ... looks like a turret press would be best investment for a start.

[BrassMagnet]

A friend of mine used to take that long to load 100 .264 Win Mag with one. Then I introduced him to a Rock Chucker and a RL-450.

Obviously using 1050s is too slow and a waste of time. I was eyeballing that Camdex JS-63 motorized in 38/357, but it went too quick. It wouldn't even interfere too much with my coffee drinking!

"It wouldn't even interfere too much with my coffee drinking!"

Exactly!
