    One word of warning: The pill bottles that the boolits were stored in all shattered in transit to varying degrees, leading to a good bit of "boolit pickup" for some of the worse off bottles. Thankfully all of the boolits stayed in the box it shipped it. The labels allowed me to sort them back to where they all should be! Other than the bit of man-handling from the USPS, it's an incredible gift! Thank you very much!
    Alex's gift is not pictured, but much appreciated!

    I've got to say, those are a wonderful sampling of cast boolits! The blue powder coated ones almost look factory made!

    What a pile of treasures!!!! Thank you all for the kind words and all of the spoils! This should keep me busy for a minute. Even a little car for my man!!!
    Thanks again and god bless!,
    Ken

    Edit to add: the tool box and pot are not part of the spoils. They are my current casting equipment.

    I have received T/Weed's Christmas Gift, and oh boy! What a haul! Those boxes have come very much in handy with packing in all of my new Boolits into my boxes! Might have to upgrade to three Half-Sized Roughneck Boxes thanks to all of your fine gifts!

    I really appreciate it! I'll be stocked up on Boolits for a good year or two thanks to your generosity!

    WOW! Thank you so much Sigep1764! Quite the devious way to get those ever-so-previous primers my way!

    I'm going to need to find some sort of Lyman Lubrisizer in order to fit the sizer. The metal piece in the middle is fast-shut inside the sizer, so at least it's not going anywhere. It's an essential piece that I haven't been able to find in any retailer's place and I can't thank you enough for it!

    I am VERY excited to have my first boolit mold for .38 Special! I suppose that if you can punch some very speedy holes in paper and very economically as well! I've looked a bit online and it seems like the mold works for 9mm Luger! Certainly it's something that could be very useful for my boolit starved companions in the immediate future!

    I'd also like to extend a thank you to whoever had given us a low-profile IWB holster. There was no indication who it was from, so I'm not entirely sure who it was, but thank you!

    As it turns out, It fits GalvinGround's RIA1911FS perfectly. I really like how it has the capacity to work OWB and IWB. It will take some time to work into shape, but I'm excited either way to try it with my own Model 10 for comparison. Certainly it will be a significant difference in profile!

    I like how this thing works. I wish I new about it sooner. I have some barss in various calibers and various amounts. )6, 308, 243, 30-30, 223.
    Some I picked up, others from friends.
    I could have passed these on to others.
    Perhaps I'll dig it out and list it in the swappin and sellig section. Maybe swap for stuff I can use.

    I got a box today from one of you esteemed gentlemen! So many more treasure! More brass (which I can now swim in thanks to you guys), some great looking pced boolits for the 45-70 for me to try, as well as some samples of different pc for me to try!
    Already ran a batch of 30cal in smoke's orange that turned out great with 2 coats. Also ran some 44's with harbor Freight black, that are not so good, haha. I can see why people like Mr. Smokes powders!

    Thanks again gents and god bless,
    Ken

    Thanks again to all of you gentlemen!
    God bless,
    Ken
