View Full Version : Sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good.

A couple of years ago I took a $7 chance on an eBay auction and bought a set of dies for my 300 Win Mag. The photo was lousy and the seller had no clue what he had. They turned out to be Vickerman Dies, a Neck Die and a Seat Die with the ability to interchange inserts.

About 6 months ago I took another chance on a $1 eBay auction (big gambler I am) and bought 3 die inserts that looked like they were made for a Vickerman Seat Die. The seller had no clue what they were. Right again....I picked up a Seat Die insert for 25-06 and 243 Winchester. As luck would have it I have since purchased a 25-06 and a 243.

Wish I was this lucky in love.

Aw, heck - you're better off being lucky with gun stuff than romantic endeavors, Flashhole! :D

So I guess you are saying it is good to be you! ;)

My grandfather called it perseverance. It does pay. Great find!

Funny choice of words. For Father's Day I got a T-shirt that reads.....Mr. Perfect....Life Is Good When You're Me.
