In my relatively short period of time here I have been helped by many of the members in knowledge, time, and goods, but four have helped me above and beyond. With that said, I want to honor their help/assistance and offer 100 (mixed head stamp) range pick up brass of your choosing (from 380, 9mm, 40, 45ACP LP, or 38 SPC) to three (3) people. If you are wondering…What, you said four people helped you and now it is three? My answer is that I have already given away some through this site earlier (in honor of one of the four) and I would like to do it in honor of those four in particular.
There is a catch and the rules go like this:
1) You do not have to have a need for it, but just a want (so even if you have plenty but just want a little more).
2) Like I said, EVERYONE is welcome to contribute/post and I don’t care if you are going to use the brass, give it way, swage it, or anything because it is yours.
3) You must post a “Pearl of Wisdom” below. The “Pearl” should be something that either a new reloader or caster should know before they start. I don’t care if it is information, a site for purchasing something, a lessons learned, great place to get lead, or anything that would help the newer reloaders/casters in any way.
4) There is no limit on the number of posts/”Pearls” so the more the better.
5) I will pick three (3) of the posts that I found the most interesting (mind you I have done a ton of reading for over a year, so you might have better luck with something out of the box) on Monday, May 6th and PM you for your address to send the brass to.
6) Brass will be shipped on my dime (cheapest way), so it is absolutely free to you.
I know 100 brass isn’t going to give you a long day of shooting, but it could be a small start or something to top off a pile.
I think I covered everything, but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.
Dave
UPDATE: Thanks to Grump there will be one more winner and one bundle of “100 .30-06 LC type cases” are available. On Monday Grump will contact me with his top choice (and maybe more if I can talk him into it) and then I will send out PMs to the winners. The first winner that responds that they want the .30-06 (via PM to me) will get them sent directly from Grump to them. The other three will have their choice of the handgun range brass listed above. I have enough that even if the remaining three pick the caliber I have enough to spare. I think that covers the new stuff, so let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Grump for joining the fun and offering up this added brass.
UPDATE #2:Hopefully I didn't miss anyone but I broke them into three groups even though some might apply to multiple sections (listed on page 3).
This is how it will work from here: I will wait for Grump to contact me with his choice and then I will contact the four winners through a PM to get their address and chosen brass. Just as a reminder, there is one .30-06 available, so the first of the winners that PM me back with their address and asking for the .30-06 will get them sent directly from Grump. The other three can choose from any of the handgun brass listed in the OP and I have enough of all of the calibers, so even if those three pick the same it will work. With that said, if you want the .30-06, please return my PM identifying you as a winner saying that you want the .30-06, but also a handgun caliber as your second choice in case you aren’t the first one. Also, I will wait for a winner’s response for 24 hours and then I will move to the next one on the list. I will continue this until the four bundles of brass are accounted for.
I think I covered everything but in case I missed something please PM me.
Thank you to everyone that posted these Pearls.
Dave
LAST UPDATE: I guess I forgot to state that all four that were selected got their brass but I left this thread open as a place to add to over time. Thanks to everyone that has posted to, or even read, this thread.
