So...I got me these bullets...

I'm not sure, but I think I got them from AaronB (I believe that was his moniker)and I don't have anything to shoot them. I was cleaning out the garage and found them. It says on the box "250 gr.....44 caliber." Don't know what mold they were made from, don't know how many, and sure ain't going to count them, but the box weighs in the neighborhood of 8 lbs. give or take. So, let's see, that's 7000 times 8 divide by 250, allow for tare weight...hmm...about 220.

Anyway, if anyone wants to fool with them, all I want is what it costs to send them, if it isn't too much trouble.

Keith's from a 429421 mold, really good bullets! I cast these, so I will let someone else jump on this.

I think you're right...

But, all the other bullets I used to get from him, he wrote the mold and number in the corner of the box flap on the inside, this one don't have it. Since I don't know for sure, I can't say.

By the way, wife is headed down your way to do some painting in White Sands Nat. Monument. She left here Sunday and got in to Albuquerque yesterday. The daughter left some furniture she's been wanting here, so it was decided that it was a good time to haul it out there. I've got some space in the garage now, thus the cleaning project.

Aaron casts good bullets---I'll take 'em

If someone else doesn't need them more. I cast these too, but my casting set-up is mothballed right now.

Don't have anything to shoot them

Get ye out and find a 44 Special or even a 44 Maggie and use them up and keep the 44 Special for future fun!

Well...

I have had both calibers, and sold them to help defray the costs of my cancer treatments. Ergo, the fact that I don't have anything to shoot them. And although not impossible, the probability that I would ever acquire such arms in the future is extremely remote, and not even something I desire to do anymore. That's why before I melt them down for fishing sinkers, I thought someone on here might want them.

"Get ye out"...really? What, are you some kind of wannabe pirate or something?

Well...

Naw, he's jest another ol' state feller like me and you, 'cept he's a bit tougher than I am and hasn't had his fill of abuse yet.

We do occasionally celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day, though - Arrrr, Matey!

Oh...OK...

I'm an infrequent visitor these days and I thought that maybe ya'll decided to write in another vernacular. Don't get me wrong, I think it would be great fun!

Okie dokie artichokie...

It seems everyone else on here is "well-heeled" for bullets, so they're yours if you want them.
Send me an email where you want them sent. I'll get them out to you...eventually.

The whole thing was meant as a minor poke in the ribs kinda joshin ya, but Sorry it did not come across that way.

It does give me a hint where to spend time in the future.

I knew that.

I suffer from an affliction that's quite common among the populace, and although I've attempted to take the cure, I've never been successful.

You see, I suffer from Jackassitis. I've demonstrated that on this forum many times. Even my parish priest will tell you I'm a Jackass. I've gone through the Ten Step program many times, but it's never taken.

Despite that, ask anyone who knows me, I've never met a person I didn't like.

When one is afflicted with this malady, he/she must develop other qualities to compensate, so in no particular order:

I'm truthful
Charitable
Humble
I'm also a handsome individual (I know, that's arguable, but people tell me so)
I'm also proficient in social, folk, and square dancing.

All of these things are positive qualities, although, whether or not they make up for the fact that I'm a wise ass, probably not.

Sorry if I offended you.

Joe

Got 'em, Joe!

Any particular way you would like me to recompense you? If no preference, I'll just drop a handy form of payment in the mail.

Thank you again!
