I put a quarter in a machine at the resturant and got a trinket out. It was interesting so I tied it again. This is what I got for my efforts.
When I returned home there was a truck delivering some boxes.
There was 4 boxes and they each weighed 151 pounds. I needed sixshot to help me stack them in the garage. The driver that delivered them said that he had never delivered anything like that before. He said that the boxes just glowed and kept talking to each other. He was happy to get them off his truck so he could have some peace and quiet. We stacked them in front of the table that I use to extract honey on each fall - it will be a good work area.
I cut open one box and peeked inside. This is what I found staring me in the face.
I took a brass separating bowl and filled it with some brass piling it as high as I could. I tripped and fell into it and am up to me neck in brass.
Hanna Riley Frisk (We call her Amanda Tory Frisk) my grand daughter came to visit me for a while. She started filling some trays with the brass.
Before long we had 10 trays filled. Just enough for old sixshot. I took one out as you can see because he only ordered 499 pieces and I had only ordered 1 piece.
It didn't take long and we had the table full of trays full of brass. This is what it looked like. It is easier to count by 50's when sorting the brass out.
Looking down on the trays showing the famous head stamp can be a little dis-orienting. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
Now what should I do with all of this brass? I slowly realized that a large portion of it belonged to you guys that sent in money for it. I have read here that some of you are waiting for it, so I bagged some of it up and boxed it up for the mail. This is the end result of what we have been doing since January 20th. until now. I have gotten one box emptied, filled into trays, bagged up and boxed up. 4 boxes went out in the mail yesterday. 7 more are boxed up and ready to go now. There are a few bags waiting to be boxed up and mailed.
I have started on the second box now. It might take a little longer because I am getting dizzy and my back is starting to stiffen up. Dick (sixshot) picked up his brass and wouldn't even pay anything for the freight! I offered to give him a glass of water, but he was in a hurry for some unknown reason. He must of smelled some food that needed a taste test or something.
I will get the rest of this out as soon as I can. This has been a fun project that has kept me busy for 2 months and a couple weeks. It has helped keep my mind off of the situation of taking care of my wife. She has taken a turn for the worse just in the last few days and I will be busy checking on her while I am getting the brass out to you members that ordered it. Thank you to each and every one that has been involved in this with me. Have a great summer and GREAT SHOOTING.
It would be interesting to hear about the loads that you use and the target that you hit and missed with this brass in your shooting. It should improve each one of your shooting habits and zero in on the bulls eye with each shot. Of course pictures are required.
