Default I Scored
Everybody I know and work with knows that I am a shooter. I get brass, lead, bullets, lead wheel weights, and dies. I have even been given entire presses at times. Right now I have an RCBS rock chucker sitting under my bench that was given to me by a family member.

I was just given some neat stuff.

Two sets off Lee loader dies in 30.06 and 7X57 MM Mauser.

3 Herters filr type case trimmers in 30.06 (which I shoot).

One Herters sizing and seating dies in 7mm.

About 500 once fired 9mm brass.

A bag on .280 Remington (which I shoot).

About 200 cases of 40 cal brass, once fired.

A ton of 38 special brass, once fired.

Below are pictures.

I HATE YOU!!!!.......

Good job.

I had a guy a few weeks ago give me maybe 1500 pieces of 45acp and 500 pieces of once fired 9mm brass and 700 or so 230 gr cast RN bullets. I figure that saved me over $100 or more.

I really am thinking of giving the Mauser dies away here at TFF next month. No charge, no shipping, just a good honest contest. What does everyone think of that???

Well get with the program Lloyd. Everybody's got a Mauser, everybody. You'd better get motivated pal. Oh, but I don't have one either. I guess I'm just a loser.

Great collection, Jim;

The prizedraw idea is excellent. I won a prize recently that I couldn't do anything with, so I'm donating it to the Gun Club auction at our next AGM. It should do someone some good, and will raise funds for the club.

PS Can I join the looser club too? I don't have a Mauser.

From what I hear we are accepting applications, the bigger loser you are the more control you get......kind of like Obozo and the Dumbocrats.
