Reloading karma

[MW surveyor]

People of KharTalk; here’s your chance to get started in reloading. I am giving away absolutely free a Lee Breech Lock Challenger Press with a few selected items that will get you on your way. I’ll even pay the shipping (cheapest way possible) straight to your door or if you don’t have a door, where ever you have a portal to your abode.

This press was replaced by a Lee Turret and since purchasing the Turret, the Challenger has been sitting on the shelf. The scale was replaced with a more user friendly scale.

What you get is the press, a Lee Safety Powder scale, one small pistol primer arm and one large pistol primer arm, 9 quick change bushings and instructions for the press and the scale.

The lucky winner will be able to produce about 50 to 75 rounds per hour but at the minimum you will have to purchase or have access to – dies, a caliper, a powder measure (or use the Lee dipper set), a funnel to load the powder into the case, two loading blocks, empty cases, primers, powder and bullets. Oh yea, a loading manual will be very helpful.

Conditions for entry


A minimum of 25 posts.
You do not currently have a press, will use this press and not sell it onwards.
If you outgrow the press, you will pass it on to another KharTalk or a family member.
Just reply to this post with something like – “put me in”, “pick me”, “I’m in” etc.


I will let this run for a period starting on the 8th of December and running to the 25th of December then pick a name out of a hat. The winner will be notified in another thread and by PM for shipping address. Not sure when I’ll be able to ship due to the Christmas Holidays.

Wow, that is a great deal for a new beginning reloader. However I can't be included because I have been reloading for over 40 years. New "Want to be" reloaders need to jump at this offer. :israel:

[muggsy]

I'm in. I can't use it but my son sure could.

[jlottmc]

I have space now, and would like to get into this. Been some time since I pulled a handle (I think Reagan was president and I was a little guy.) Count me in.

[MLESa7990]

I'm in! :)

[PYROhafe]

I'm totally in!
This is the starting point ive been looking for! What an awesome idea MW! I knew I love kahrtalk for more than one reason! :ohmy:

[340pd]

You sir, are a class act. I have been using a single stage press for forty years and will always stay that way. I don't need it, but I thank you as much as if I had won it.
I hope you find it a good home and the winner remembers your kindness by doing the same for somebody else someday.

Pay it forward.

[TheTman]

NOT IN. But I just wanted to say you are a class act MW. I used a Lee single stage for years, and it always did a great job. I only had dies for 44 mag/special and 45. I found the rythym of the procedure to be quite relaxing, and 50 rounds and hour was quite enough for my needs.

[mr surveyor]

very nice gesture. another hundred bucks or so for a die set, caliper/micrometer, chamfer/debur tool, primer pocket tool (and maybe add a bit more for a dedicated hand priming tool) and someone will be in business.

I'm not asking to be "in" for the drawing, just couldn't resist promoting your effort.


surv

edit to add: I'm also a real fan of the Lee quick lock bushing system. Makes die changes extremely fast and easy.

[XD40SC]

Very cool of you to "pay it forward". I hope to have 25 posts up by Christmas, (13 to go), but congrats to who ever gets it. Very nice gesture MW!

[Tinman507]

MW,

I am floored by your offer. What a wonderful way to pay it forward. Thank You!!

I would respectfully request being "In" please?

[painter]

Kudos to you MW.

I'm not in, but I applaud your generosity.

One of the main reasons why I am going a bit long on this. Gives some of the newer people a chance.

[mr surveyor]

he seems like a nice guy.... I'd be willing to donate him 13 of my posts:D

[Alfonse]

That is a super thing to do. Thanks for making me smile. Please don't include me, but I sure appreciate what you are doing.

[AJBert]

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring.

I've been wanting to get into reloading for sometime but really don't even know where to start.

And I'll repeat what has already been said more than a few times, thank you for offering this set up. Most folks would just try to sell but this is truly an amazing gesture, no, a truly amazing action that you are offering up. I truly appreciate what you are doing and wish the best to who wins this set!

[Fredr500]

I'm in. Thanks for this offer, great idea. I'd better get busy posting.

[MW surveyor]

Fredr500 - you only need 10 more between now and the 25th. :)

[doublebarrel]

Great karma.Don't put me in,I was lucky enough to have my late father help me get started in reloading.This will be a good start for a new reloader.

[Frayed Knot]

Wow, very cool! Put me in. I've been toying with the idea of acquiring some reloading tools and knowledge. Thanks for making the offer to this wonderful community.

[melissa5]

What a NICE thing to do, MW surveyor! :cheer2:

I'm not in as I've been reloading for a little while.

[tv_racin_fan]

Count me in sir.

[Lentevan]

Count me in for sure. I was just discussing this with a barber the other day and he said if I get around to it he has lead and can show me the ropes.

[FireMoose]

Not in but thanks very cool of you.


Did the powder measure from this ( I'm assuming it was the anniversary kit) work on yer turret? Classic or deluxe?

Did not even try to make it work on the classic turret. Bought a powder measure pro for the turret. Still use the powder measure from the kit when I am loading 357 magnum rounds. I do those in batches rather than use the progressive feature of the turret.

Must be something to that Surveyor handle, good peeps you both are. :) Funny thing about reloading, I've been saving my brass for about 3 years, just planning ahead and just about gave it away to a buddy who reloads, then this offer popped up. With my posts on my P380 worries http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=15851&page=2, (http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=15851&page=2)
I may just make the 25th with 25!

[rholmes69]

Throw my name in the hat please!

[rjt123]

Count me in for the drawing, please. I've thought about reloading a lot. I look at it as a way to shoot more than as a way to save money. I need to shoot more than I do. :D

[Bobby]

Now that would be fun to teach my son on. So count me in.

Very cool act especially at Christmas time!
I just bought a complete reloading system, but I wouldn't have deprived another member by entering anyhow.

[mluikey]

Please put me in. :)

[XD40SC]

[MikeyKahr]

Please count me in, kind sir and winner of best avatar on Kahrtalk. :thumbup:

[MW surveyor]

Using my 2,000th post to bump this back to the first page so that if you are like me, you don't really look at any posts that have moved from the first page.

All that have replied as being in so far are on the list.

[getsome]

Congrats on the 2 grand post there MW!!!...Time sure goes fast don't it....This reloading equipment give away is very kind of you to offer and good luck to the winner!!!...:third:

[Geobob]

Hello MW Surveyor!

Please add my name as a potential receiver of your most generous gift! This should be my 25th post, I do not currently reload or have any reloading equipment (but want to do so), I will not sell the kit but pass it on when the time comes, and continue to pay it forward as you are doing.

Hope you and yours have a blessed and wonderful Christmas and holiday season!

Please throw my name in your hat! I somehow missed this thread until now.

[MW surveyor]

Geobob & JustinN - Your names have been added to the list.

Odds are now at 18:1.

[MikeyKahr]

Mikeykahr too please! Please don't forget about me, MW!

[MW surveyor]

Mikeykahr too please! Please don't forget about me, MW!

Sorry Mikey, you are too close to the administration/moderation of this forum being the nephew of the Colonel.




Nah, just kidding. Your name was added to the list the first time. No double dipping. :D

[MW surveyor]

Last three days to get in on this.

[ZardozCZ]

I'm in!

I just started reading A B C's of Reloading this week. I have everything to learn and I'm hungry for it!

[Bawanna]

I think I'll sticky this thread for those 3 days so folks don't miss it.

This is a good thing your doing MW.

[MW surveyor]

ZardozCZ - you're in!

Thanks Bawanna, preciate putting this in a sticky for the last few days. Found the thing on page 5. I hardly go beyond page one in the General section or any other for that matter.

Just do'in my part to promote the shooting sports :)

[Bawanna]

I just hit new post, hardly ever notice even what heading they are under.

Course if your gone a few days there's a pile to look at.

Course looking at a few other forums new post wouldn't do it, just too darn many.

[PYROhafe]

o the tension for the last 3 days! I don't know if I can keep my fingers crossed that long!

[MW surveyor]

You have until 1800 hours today CST 24 December to get in on this.

I'll be pulling the name out of the hat at that time.

Good luck to all that entered.

[JustinN]

It's going to be a very Merry Christmas for someone!

[Bawanna]

Hey Justin you give that cute daughter of yours a special big hug and a big smack on the cheek from Bawanna, would ya.

I'd say do the same for the missus but that's probably stepping on the line.

[kahrhog]

Pick Me! I would like to start learning to Reloading. Thank you. Rick

[JustinN]

[Bawanna]

I'm hoping to get those grips for you sent off tomorrow Bobby. To add to the karma I think I have some duplicate reloading manuals that I'll toss in the box. They are old, all of mine are old but the process and all of the fundamentals are the same and might help get ya going.

Try to package up tonight and get to the post office tomorrow.

[Bobby]

Bawanna ur da man! I can't wait to see these grips. The manuals will help for sure. I just pressed pay on a set of dies 32 s&w long carbide from lee. N yes folks I will work on good pics of the grips.
