Touched base with Phil's place. A good discussion with his assistant in the shotmaking process. I suggest we stay at 5's and smaller. 4's and 2's are problematic and may take a while (esp 2's). He loads #5 to #9 without issue, #4 's come from oversizes on his #5 runs in less than 15%. The Bismuth Cartridge Company cast shot #4 and larger.
Please reconfirm your shot size and quantity on here if you have not done so on the LPG page. I will sort and send for processing, and get back with price including shipping.
Shipping is done USPS flat rate. Given that, I need to gauge how everyone wants shipping - dropped directly to you from Phil or through me. Probably better to ship directly to you as I would pass on any additional shipping costs if I handled repackaging.
I have posted an excel file with the order breakdown on the 16 LPG page. |

16 Gauge Low Pressure (Reloading) Group. It is where the reloading data is stored and the forum for test results. You will need to cotact Russ Gray (RWG on here) for access, I think it may be $20 to join if I remember correctly.
Here is the link on the discussion:

LPG has 85lb of #5, 20 lb of #7, and 5lb of #4 (hard to make) comitted. Several peopple here have requested soem as well, but no weights or sizes. I think we sit around 150-160 lbs as a whole if we can nail the details on this site. I want to move away from #4's if we can, it's a crap shoot.
I expect this will hit about $15/lb plus shipping.
I think Phil has paypal and we can pay that route. |

Can't find my LPG password/access whatever. I'd like 5#ea of #7, 6 & 5 please. I see I'm the only #6 request; if this size is not available or a PITA to produce just delete it from my order.
Anyone participating in this purchase from West MI, GR area? I'd be happy to share shipping and meet up some evening and divy up the spoils.
Thanks USDM for taking the lead on this, Mike |

I am not sure what is being done here, but at $15.00 a lb I would buy 10 lbs of #5 shot |

Looks like we have 183# of commitment. Popplecop and sxsdan, not sure what/if you wanted any?
Anyway, Mr. Lund has some other pressing issues right now and I would not count on any oif this for thisw season, at least the early season. He is a little behind right now. I will keep everyone informed. |
