5101 post GIVEAWAY!!!!! WINNER!!!!!!
I'm counting this edit as my 5101st post; we have a tie! I emailed both contenders about their prospective win, and will let the email system take care of the tie-breaker.
The 2 discs in question were 1/4" apart, side-by-side and 25' from where I fired the shot.
Soon as I get a confirmation email from the WINNER, I will post that as well.
OK reloaders, here's your chance at getting a nicely used RCBS reloading press with primer arm!
Requirements for the giveaway: MUST be a reloader! Or wish to start reloading immediately!
NO selling, trading, auctioning, swapping, or otherwise converting the prize to cash. If I'd wanted it sold; I'da done it myself!
Drawing to commence upon my reaching 5101 posts.
Method of selection: The last time I will use this press is to load as many brass discs as there are entrants into a 444 Marlin shell (each disc with an identifier), or if more are needed; a 12ga. shell (loaded on a different press), and shot skyward at an angle of 90 degrees from horizontal. The closest one to the firing point will win.
I'd post a pic, but the Hunter photo thingie swallowed them and I don't know where they went.
I found 'em! see below!
It's a green, heavy press, maybe a Rockchucker, maybe a Rock crusher, I have no idea, I've had it so long. It's definitely not a "partner" press, though I used to have it and 2 others mounted in line on the bench for a single-stage-progressive setup.
For you worry warts; I have used similar methods to pick a wimmer, and so far, no mishaps.

HA! Figured out the pic thang! Unleashed a MONSTER haven't we?
BTW-The post to post these pics don't count, so we're looking at 5101 posts; if you want in, I'm bustin' to post more stuff, so if you snooze-you lose!

I appreciate your notion for this give away and your way of selecting the winner is mighty nice and novel as well.
However, I am hoping that you will assure your own safety as well. I expect that one of the discs at least, will find it's way right on back down to strike you in the crown!
I'd hate to think that you might get injured physically in the drawing process. It'd really be bad all the way around. What draw blood on you and if injured badly ... it'd be at least ten times worse. You'd be out of action and awarding the prize might even be jeapordized! That would be bad all the way around ... a definite lose, lose situation for sure!
For those reasons and many others, I implore you to take measures for self-protection. At least wear a well designed tinfoil helmet, OK?
I think that we all manage to sleep better. Take care, it is important to at two of us! [:)] [;)] [:D]0 -
Please enter my name in your drawing, I would love to have a shot at it (pun intended[:D]). I really like the statement as to you not wanting the winner to sell or profit from your give away. That is the main reason that I don't really offer give aways of my own and try to stay away from most of the others. Good job and thanks again[:)]

The "RS" on the press stands for a..."Reloader Special"...[:)]. "RC" would indicate "Rockchucker"[:)]0
