    Subject: A plea for help

    Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before

    in our generation. We have banded together to overcome tremendous

    adversity. We have weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars

    overseas, corporate scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock price

    plunges, droughts, fires, and a myriad of economic and physical

    disasters both great and small. But now, we must come together once

    again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.

    Hundreds of Major League Baseball players in our very own nation are

    living at, just below, or in most cases far above the seven-figure

    salary level.

    And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their

    life-giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the

    upcoming strike situation. But you can help!

    For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the

    cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help a MLB player remain

    economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no

    means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary,

    but it's a start, and every little bit will help!

    Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a baseball

    player it could mean the difference between spending the strike golfing

    in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars

    is nothing more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two

    unemployment checks, or a month of medical insurance with COBRA, but to

    a baseball player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.

    Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy

    that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new

    Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

    HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?

    Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player

    You sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real

    estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home.

    Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned

    photo of the player lounging during the strike on a beach somewhere in

    the Caribbean (for a signed photo, please include an additional $150).

    Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples'

    suffering.

    HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?

    Your MLB player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just

    wants to help in a time of need.

    Although the player won't know your name, he will be able to make

    collect calls to your home via a special operator in case additional

    funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.

    YES, I WANT TO HELP!

    I would like to sponsor a striking MLB player. My preference is checked

    below:

    [ ] Infielder

    [ ] Outfielder

    [ ] Starting Pitcher

    [ ] Ace Pitcher

    [ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost of a

    specific team - $10 per minute)

    [ ] Alex Rodriguez (Higher cost: $60,000 per day)

    Please charge the account listed below $694.50 per day for the player

    for the duration of the strike.

    Please send me a picture of the player I have sponsored, along with an

    Alex Rodriguez 2001 Income Statement and my very own Donald Fehr MLB

    Players Union pin to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for hat).

    What you brother has is a 7.65 Argentine mauser, and what has happened is that somebody has formed 7.65 brass out of 30.06 brass.  7.65 brass has been hard to come by, the last I herd was that Norma was the only company still producing ammo for it.  So alternative ways of "making" brass for it came through forming 30.06 brass into it.

    Yes you will need to acquire a set of 7.65 Argentine dies.  RCBS makes them, and I'm sure there are others who do so, Lyman, Lee, and probably Redding.

    There is a book called "Cartridges of the World" that will have some vary valuable information on the 7.65 Arg. as well as other obsolete cartridges.

    Good Luck

    What brand of bullet

    Steve on the Laser Cast bullets check their page for a local dealer.  They price them out at full retail, but if you find a local dealer you will probably save 20%.  For some reason they are trying to get away from direct marketing.  As far as smoke is concerned I'm currently using them in my 45 and a friend of mine is using them in the 40 with minimal smoke, their not jacketed but there is a little smoke.

    10mm for L-10

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I have the opportunity to pick up a single stack in 10mm made on a Caspian frame and slide.  All the bells and whistles, Bo-mars, magwell, 2 lb trigger ect… what I’m looking for is feed back on anybody who has experience with 10mm in the L-10.  How do, or did you like it?  Would you recommend it?  If the price wasn’t so good I probably wouldn’t think about it.

    Thanks

    Man I'm going to catch all this on video.  lol.gif  "Who wants a copy"

    SG the best advice has already been given to you.  But what I remind myself of at a match is that the reason I'm here is to have FUN, first and formost and my performance is second.  If it stops being an enjoyable experience I’ll stop competing.  Relax your going to have a great time....
