How would you get the hole in them or attach the metal loop to the weight? There's plenty of fishing moulds out there and it's not too hard to make your own out of wood as size isn't as important as it is in reloading. (I use moulds for casting round ball, bullet heads and fishing weights).

Anything in the way of updates mate? It's been 3 months since I paid.

The manufacturer has been very slow in production, this is a sideline to their engineering job and they have had other issues. That said, the quality is excellent in comparison to the American copies and this is almost certainly the only source in the UK.

Your (Phil) 12g Loader is on its way. Some other orders have shipped too.

I have one .410g in my possession for FGYT.

3x 12g and 1x .410g are in production and will be ready just after Christmas.

All slug moulds are now in my possession.

I've been chasing a 00 mould but it is on back order and delivery from the States won't be until January, possibly February. Widu got my own new one.

Thanks for your patience, this GB and the barrels GB have been slow and a pain.

Cheers Im in no rush

infact if any body else wants the 12bore version thats fine (or I will take it anyway of course )

If hes looking to work on a 10 bore verion that owuld be of interest as i have one reserved :D

All the outstanding 12g etc requests are in process at the moment. I've had no other requests as yet.

I have asked about the 10g. That was a 3.5" magnum cartridge right?

I'll let you know what he says. I don't know if he has done any 20g.

yes 3.5" pls again in no rush this one is really worth reloading as we are limited on Loads (mainly large BB to 3shot in steel) here and its expensive ie £40 to £60 per 25

I gather from someone using one of these very loaders that the Eley .410 cartridge hulls are made from thin plastic and only reload a couple of times, the Lyevale .410 hulls however (made by Gamebore) will reload much more, six times to count so far. Star crimp reform easier than roll crimp.

The 10g 3.5" loader is being created now. A 20g version could be done upon request.

The other .410 and 12g loaders are part way through manufacturer.

From my research so far these are the best available in the UK or USA.

I hear a rumour that the Buck moulds are arriving sooner than thought.

Is anyone interested in one of these for I think £50 BACS delivered? I'm having one as are two of my mates.

Just checking but it should be by the end of January.

The recent folding of City Link has taken out Inpost's delivery courier so I'm working out how to get you the drum. I decided not to post it just before Christmas because of the crazy postal situation which is probably a good thing as it could be stranded in a depot somewhere now. :rolleyes:

If that's a relatively firm date , I'll be happy to take one off of you.
Ref the Drum , no probs and understood , I just wanted to check to see if this was a quickish order or a potentially longer window of delivery.

Right then, an update:

I have been assured that the last of the loaders will be ready by the end of this month. Patience just comes with the territory with these it seems, they have to be squeezed in between work and other commitments.

The 00 Buck moulds have arrived locally, I just need to go and pick them up.
I have all the 12g slug moulds..
The Lee Production Pots have arrived, I will look at postal options. My mate has one of these up and running and is very pleased with it.
I have a .410 and a 12g loader in my possession though strictly the 12g one is supposed to be mine.

If you haven't paid yet then I could probably do with getting the money in as I will need to move quickly when the loaders are ready and I've already paid for the moulds.

Right ready to roll on these, I'm about to pay for the loaders and I've already paid for the moulds out of my own pocket, ouch!

PMs are all sent and I could do with funds to get these sorted ASAP please, I've left the money in your accounts for as long as I possibly could. ;) I have guested at combined P&P so you have reductions in this regard. They will be sent by courier or RM, Signed For.

10g is now available and 20g can be done on request.

12g and .410 are being used with success by several people already.

Thanks for your patience guys, the loaders take a while but are much better made compared to the US offerings, ie engineered steel rather than amateur hour Al. or plastic offerings!

Now out of comms until Sunday night.

You either need to clear some PM space or get Tony to up your allowance.

I've sent payment for the Lee Production Pot
