Job finished

[callshot]

When I was selling "callshot brass" my younger brother bought one thousand pieces from me. He mentioned that he would need me to load them up for him. He is not set up to reload and is too busy working to do it anyway. I had to cast the bullets, lube and size them then load them. He can afford the components, but my labor at my overtime rate will kill him. :x I didn't need to hurry and really think that 50 loaded cases will probably last him the rest of his life. :roll: I used 250 gr. kieth bullets, 5.5 gr. Winchester 231, CCI 300 primers, and ran them through my Dillon at about 8 to 10 minutes per 50. I finished the project today and still had time to finish my nap that didn't get finished yesterday. Now, my question for you is, what would you charge your brother for all that labor :?: He will probably want me to teach him how to shoot them also. Steve

I think an open account at the local "dairy bar" to allow continous huckleberry shakes would fit the bill nicely! As you said,,, he could afford it,,,!

 

[M'BOGO]

I recall 5 Guy's Burgers and Fries being mentioned in the past, coupled with contenders suggestion, that should help you in casting shadows , and get some good times spent with your brother.

No way I would charge my brother, unless I was loading large numbers on a regular basis. I just gave my brother a thickness planer I rarely use. He needed one, mine was gathering dust. Sure I could have gotten $125 - $150 for it on CL, but hey, it's my brother.

He gives me stuff from time to time. I came home a few weeks ago with a pair of early 60s Wilton woodworking vises, and a killer framing chisel he gave me. Your relationship with your brother may be different.

I say give him the loaded ammo & maybe a holster to go along with it & you can buy me a huckleberry shake for making the suggestion.
Russell Cottle (sheriff) said his huckleberry shake was kind of small last week & he wants a rematch....delivered!

I say charge the going rate and if he balks at the cost, then offer to sell some of the loaded rounds to a few forum members. Put them in nice 50-round boxes, signed (of course) by the man himself. I imagine a box of autographed Callshot 44 Special would bring a handsome $um.

 

[callshot]

I wasn't really thinking of charging him except for the primers and a little powder. We have a good relationship and help each other out often. I just gave him all of my Wrangler jeans that have shrunk lately. He lets me borrow his pet skunk whenever I need to. All 5 of those huckleberry shakes were small. I am going to pick some more berries tomorrow morning if I can get the bed off my back. We will be up Olson creek if you ever get up tomorrow sixshot, you could bring us a lunch and drinks with ice.

Same here (for labor).... But I would charge him (like I do my uncle and dad) for the 'components' (bullets/powder/primers) at cost. If it became a 'full time' job, then we would have to discuss the matter.... My dad actually buys the powder/primer/bullets and I just load 'em.

Family + Money = Trouble. If you gotta "charge" for your time, brass, or bullets would be plenty. But then a big, juicy, double cheeseburger and fries sounds like enough too... :mrgreen:

 

[mattsbox99]

I just charge my brother for the components, I don't care about the time.

 

[skip]

Give him the rounds and tell him that one day you will come to him and ask him a favor him can't refuse............

 

[sixshot]

You cross eyed bisquit eater, I'd probably have to bring you a shake & then help you pick the berries. Everyone knows there aren't any berries in Olson creek, you have to go to your ultra secret place up 8 mile.....where there were so many cars we couldn't even find a place to park.
If you load your brothers ammo like you do your own I could probably knock them out of the air with a fly swatter like I did at that drive through window in Logan! :shock:

[Sheriff]

Steve, you didn't pawn any of those WW cases off on him, did ya? If ya did, he ought to charge you for desposin of them for ya......

 

[callshot]

Call me a "Cross eyed biscuit eater":?: Don't you know that this is a family rated forum :!: I just load my shells like you taught me to, with turkey poop, barbed wire and duck tape and pop corn. We looked all over and you have picked all the huckleberries that did grow this year. I lost 10 pounds yesterday and only found 17 berries, but I did see where you had tromped them down with your crocks. :roll: I can't believe that you wouldn't even bring us a sandwich and drink after all the times I have had to help you tie your shoe laces and get your hat on straight. :shock:
Russ., I was just shooting Winchester brass up because it was loaded up when powder and primers were cheaper. That way I could afford to shoot cheaper. It also gave you a better chance to shoot while on your vacation.
Now, little brother wants one of the brass made into a key ring ornament. I hope he don't want any for Christmas tree ornaments.
O.K. Now I have got to get back to work. I have places to go, things to do, and people to help enjoy their day. Steve

I sure needed all the help I could get, that's for sure!

 

[sixshot]

Russ, he hasn't hit anything since he went to that Callshot brass, he's got so caught up in watching beach volleyball he can't focus on the sights, all he wants to do is strip down to his undies & play in the sand, scary!

[Sheriff]

I wondered where he dissapeared to Friday, especially since you'd smoked ribs..........

 

[mexicanjoe]

EYE BLEACH!!!! somebody get me some eye bleach, ooohhhh the humanity!!!! Would yall quit talking like that, it's putting images in my mind that don't belong there. I guess I have to go to confession tomorrow, I hope that the Baptist preacher will hear me out. BTW if you reload using mesquite beans, your turkey will have basted/blasted in flavor. Your friend...... Mexicanjoe!!

 

[callshot]

Confession is good, but a little like a laxative. I tried it once and more stuff came out than should have. Easier to not do anything wrong ever again. :shock: Since I am only almost human, I don't have any human frailties that encumber my life at this point. :roll: Steve
