Looking back on the year

[Brad]

Jeff, I have some decent loads for the NOE plain base version of the Lyman 375449. Mine run 1400 fps or so.
Based on what Tom mentioned in another thread I may be ordering a 200 gr mould from him. He has a bunch of experience with the cartridge and makes wonderful moulds so I might just listen for once.

Threaded drift is inevitable. It is also a specialty of some of us.

O my...haha..got it.

Bob I'm Bruce in Omaha.

I had a cousin living in Lincoln. Do a few jobs out there occasionally. We fish a few lakes out there every few years.

See, I learn something new on this forum all the time.

Pleased to make your acquaintance Bruce!

 

[fiver]

hey now.
I can post u-tube videos too.
wait is that thread drift?
or is it a continuation of a comment?

 

[Ian]

Thread drift? Why... whatever do you mean?

 

[fiver]

let us know about that mold.
I need a lighter gas checked 375 mold.
one in the 200-220gr area with [what else?] a rnfp type design would be quite useful in both the revolver and the lever guns.

 

[Brad]

I need to convince the Mrs that a new mould is what I need. Maybe I can sell it as the best way to maximize the benefits of a new chronograph.......

 

[Ian]

Or pitch it as a sane, affordable, and space-saving alternative to a vertical mill w/DRO.

 

[Rick]

I need to convince the Mrs that a new Magma 40 pound PID pot is what I need. Maybe I can sell it as the best way to maximize the benefits of a new chronograph.......

 

[Ian]

Oooooh, point well made Rick.

 

[Brad]

The 40 pound pot is a given. I can't get the best from a mould like that when I need to keep adding ingots every 100 bullets.
Rick, she actually asked me today if you were finally happy since I had a Labradar. I mentioned you felt I needed a 40 pound Magma pot with PID. Good thing you weren't here.

hehe . . . I'm just getting warmed up. Get your check book out.

[Ian]

Get your check book out.

He'll need it to write a big fat alimony check if we keep this up...

I'm not taking too much advice from a man with an ex.

I will have a Magma pot, just need to wait for the right time. I gotta save for my retirement.

Seems odd that you wouldn't take advice from a happy man.

Yes you are correct, the Magma was a prerequisite to retirement.

[fiver]

you'll need that pot long before your retirement.
your gonna have to amortize the cost out longer than a few years.

 

[Brad]

Dawn said "Odd, he seemed like such a nice guy".

I have 15 years to retirement I figure. Lots of time to buy toys. Just need to make sure I can afford other stuff too.

 

[Ian]

need to smoke sure I can afford other stuff too.

How's that iPad thingy working out for you? Pretty sure the less you smoke, the better, especially around the wife.

 

[Brad]

iPad works fine, my thumbs just don't find the right keys? I turned off autocorrect and it got far worse. Smoking is something I have never done. I think I made a wise choice.

 

[Ian]

At least it didn't auto-correct to "need to smoke sure I can afford pot".

 

[Rick]

Dawn said "Odd, he seemed like such a nice guy".

So your wife is upset with me? And why? Because I spoke the truth.

On the bright side upset wives are of no concern for me. Just not a problem I have. Ever!
