Got home a couple of hours ago. First show this year that was fairly busy. I sold more than 25 bullet moulds. I guess because people are trying to find a way to make it cheaper to shoot. I even got a few moulds in trade or outright buys. One fellow brought me a couple of moulds to trade for one I had.. He gets a new mould or two evey year..uses 'em and gets something else next year. I got a really nice H&G #51BB(about a 160 gr SWC). People asdked me if it was hard to cast bullets and if it made good bullets. Told 'em just like shooting you get out of it what you put in. I sold a guy(Friday evening) a Lee furnace and a tumble lube 38 wadcutter mould for cheap to learn. Told him if he didn't like it to give me a call and I'll buy it all back...after giving him a short course in the safety aspects.. He stopped in today and said he already tried it out..brought in a few bullets and showed 'em off like they were his new baby.. Think we have a convert.
As far as the show I actually did pretty well. Sold some stuff..Bought waaaayyy too much. Got a like new Kimber 1911 45..again. One day I'll find a 38 Super:rolleyes:. The best buy for me wasn't the cheapest either. or the most expensive... I found a practically new Pacific Supermag press. It is the 3 die press that weighs about 30 lbs.. Love those old presses. Also got a Lachmiller Sizer/luber(looks like the RCBS except blue). It has hardly ever been used. Got it cheap. The reason it looks like the RCBS sizer is because RCBS bought out Lachmiller years ago and copied the tool. RCBS was not stupid..at least in the past....but using Chinese iron and chinese workers to make an American Icon(Rockchucker) just seems wrong. All in all a good show where I got rid of unneeded stuff and got new..unneeded stuff I guess. LOL:D
