The woman that delivers our mail has gotten a work-out in March. I have had two 1000 round orders of .432s arrive. Normally I just wave at her when she stops out on the road to put the mail in the box, but with the orders from Stonewall, she pulls up to the back door and blows her truck horn. She puts those boxes behind the seat and I help her get them out. These are girdle testing deliveries as Mr. Greene would say. All that to say it has been a pleasure doing business with Robert. I received the orders rapidly and the bullets look great. I was concerned about the SWCs feeding in my Marlin but I loaded up some rounds and they worked as well as the RNFPs. Anyway, I might use the SWCs for the Super Blackhawk and the RNFR for the Marlin just to keep them seperate if I find different loads work best for each. Right now, 12 grains of Blue Dot is looking good for both rifle and revolver. My goal is a 44-40 level round that is easy shooting and accurate for plinking. 
Thanks again Mr. Greene and I look forward to doing business again.

Don't call him mister as he is already a water-head. Grin  Old Robert and his Stonewall Bullet business is quite popular and I understand why.  He spends countless hours rounding up alloy and before daylight to after dark casting for folks.  I'll meet him some day I hope.

I have a pretty young blonde postal route delivery person and have her trained or the other way around.  If she gets one of those heavy flat rate boxes she know to back up to the garage door and I'll come out and unload it for her.

My regular mailcarrier (female) won't deliver my orders from Stonewall - she leaves a pickup notice if it's early in the week, or waits until Saturday (when a male mailcarrier takes over her route).  She's not my favorite civil servant - I figure if you can't hack the job, don't demand to be treated "equally".

Doesn't the Post Office have standards that postal workers have to be able to lift and carry a certain amount of weight - a standard that exceeds the maximum mailable package weight?  Do they have training on how to lift and carry safely?  For me, it's a 30 mile round trip to the Post Office, I can only go on the weekend, and the Post Office is closed on Saturday.  I'll see in a couple weeks when my first order from Stonewall comes in.

Now I definitely have more empathy for the mail lady and her backache.  I just received my box of 1500 .45 230 grain LRN bullets from Stonewall. If I keep this up I may have to reinforce the mailbox. Smiley

Great fast service, Robert.

When my box from Stonewall showed up back when, my itty-bitty mail-lady drove to within five feet of my front step, then knocked on my door so I could unload it for her, I don't think she could even lift it. 

Most of my "ordered" bullets come from Midway via UPS, and my driver is a husky young guy with a crew cut.  He calls my deliveries his "workout plan", because every package he brings me weighs at least 60 pounds.  If I already have to pay shipping, I'm ordering a LOT!
