sitsinhedges Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think the problem apart from the chaps ego being hurt is that at that price his masterpiece just isn't viable for the average homeloader and that grates on him. You would need to make about 300 kilos just to break even with factory bought shot after you've bought the lead to put in it but apparently, and we don't know for sure because it's such a big secret, it's not an industrial machine either so it's kind of in no mans land commercially. For me making the machine was as much fun as making the shot in it, I have as much excellent shot as I could ever use and know what it can do. What anyone else is making is irrelevant really. Shame the chap doesn't want to be part of the reloading community really, we can all learn something from other people and maybe people wouldn't be so negative about it if they understood it more.

Zapp Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 The ill feeling may also stem from the fact that the owner of that site was caught using multiple fake accounts to spam the forum with advertisments for his business.

Floating Chamber Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 WE MAKE LEAD SHOT; we get better at it 'thru passing on our research. I first made lead shot in 1973, from .22 bullet lead. It was OK, just OK. I shot a 92/100 Skeet at RAF Bentwaters, Suffolk. The only reason I didn't get a higher score that day was because I wasn't good enough. I'd never blame my shot. We (you know who you are friends) now make excellent shot, but the same goes: You have to put the tubes in the right place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 reloading courses there are expensive too. £180. i teach for free. it costs me my time, thats all. knowlege should be free, components cost money. when it comes to new loaders, would they rather sink £180 in a lesson or sink £180 into 1250 cartridges? i know what i`d rather spend it on. even if they arnt sure on if they`d like to reload, it will put people off. i`m sure he`s competent and gives a good course. cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 £180 that's a MEC 600 cookoff yours sounds better at twice the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 direct from website The Full-Day Course - What do you get? All the half-day content. Snack lunch if required. The reloading course - learn how to reload and keep 25* cartridges. A discount if you purchase an MEC reloader within two months of attending the course. The option to also enjoy shooting your reloads on clay pigeons (small additional charge applies). Full-day cost £180 per person (maximum of two people per course). Optional extra (time and weather permitting) £5 per 25 clays. * The Reloading course is currently available for 12 or 20 gauge. About you For both reloading and shot making you need to be practical and logical. i actually wouldnt mind going on a lead shot course. but not at that price. for something i might not even take up, i could just buy £150 bulk buy lead instead. i know these machines can make money and shot. why end up making shot instead of shooting it ! i really admire how the shot manufacturers here do it, FC,sits et al.... for me? i cant be *****.
