Custom 8mm .326" 6 Cavity Custom Buy Begins Here

[Buckshot]

I am intirested in this mould. Anyone have thoughts on how cast boolits perform in less than prestine mil-surp barrels? I think that every 8mm I have has some roughtness to it- some a lot more than others. How about bores that are a bit worn/over size?

Sorry, my intention is not to hijack this thread, just have a couple of questions.

Thank you

...............Most milsurp barrels that have seen any use in actual combat, or from places like South America will be less then new. Damage to the bore can take many forms. Some can damage the cast lead slug. Others that are very worn won't provide the guidance the cast lead bullet needs, since it's so much more fragile then a jacketed slug.

I have several surplus rifles with uniformly dark bores, but with good clear lands that shoot as well as a person could ask for. If your rifle has sharp lands and a good crown, the chances are excellent it will be a good shooter. Even if he lands are badly worn, it can still shoot, but the velocity will be limited. I have a 1895 Chilean in 7x57 whose lands appear only as shiney bumps spiraling up the bore. The leade apparently ends up under the rear sight someplace. But shooting to about 1600 fps it does a good job (with a Loverin design. No bore riders allowed )

However, there are no guarantees as there are just too many variables.

GC for a 32/8mm will be correct for this one.

Anybody else jumping in here? My old 98 is getting hungry and I really don't want to resort to buying an intermediary unit with limited capacity........please help!

Heads up to anyone who has sent a check in, or will be sending a check on this GB mold deal.

"Greyarea" has not responded to a sale on a mold, and is avoiding one of our fellow members.

I hope this is all a missunderstanding and greyarea will come forward and clean the slate, but as for now everyone needs to know what's going on here.

Good advice Pat. I had requested a detailed drawing by PM from greyarea back on the 11th of April, but have recieved no reply. I realize he did post a rough drawing with dimensions, but that hopefully is not what he intends to send Lee. I have withheld my money order until I see a better class of drawing and in light of the above mentioned activity may not participate at all.

I too hope this can be cleared up with a simple explanation.

So where does it go from here? Is there anything to be done or is this going to be just another kick in the a** to the tune of fifty eight bucks?

Keeper89,

I am not sure where this is heading at this point. Certainly their are methods of legal recourse if this situation is not resolved to the satisfaction of those who have sent payment. This is unheard of when you think of this board and community. I personally have never encountered a problem when dealing with a member of this board and it is truely disturbing that greyarea would act in this manner in connection to a group buy of a basic boolit design that I put forth for consideration.

To those that have sent checks, please check your records to determine if it has been cashed. It is my understanding that the Honcho sits on the checks until the buy is closed and then deposits them. After they clear, then a check from the Honcho to Lee is issued for the fee for the moulds.

We don't know what the situation is on the mold order. Sharpshooter's recommendation of confirming the status of personal checks sent is a good start, and someone so situated might check for unauthorized activity on the account from which the check was drawn. Having sent a personal or business check with its routing number at the bottom, the potential for account manipulation is present. I would recommend sending money orders or cashier's checks for all such orders in the future--they are certified funds, and most banks don't place holds on funds if deposited.

That said--let's give benefit of doubt until some indication of actual fraud--and not a crashed computer or sorry DSL service (my current annoyance)--becomes a bit more clear. As I posted last night, the best first call if fraud by U.S. Mail is suspected is to your local office of the U.S. Postal Inspector.

[keeper89]

Got to say that a scammer would be ill advised to perpetrate fraud on this particular group of people--good shots all and not just a few LE personnel......

[9.3X62AL]

It would be a first as far as I know, Keeper. I'm hopeful that it is a misunderstanding, but if not I have some case experience in this venue.

[Buckshot]

..............Not being in this buy, I haven't been following it. I did get a couple PM's about it so I've read the thread through and can see the concern for what 'may' be an issue.

First of all I hate to think of something bad happening, as this will be a first so far as group buys are concerned. I have no idea what is up with the Honcho, and have sent an e-mail as I suppose other's have also.

I don't know what to believe or think and am hoping for the best for this group AND the honcho. I don't know what kinds of problems he might be having but in the initial post for the buy the man put his name, address, e-mail AND his telephone number right out there for everyone to see. If you intend to scam a group, you usually don't do that.

I hope for a response from him, and that there has been no major life issue. I do believe that someone has called the posted phone number and spoke to his mother. I hope that that is all that will be required and we can all move on.
