Ok, I found a dup in the list. But with the Grouse Guy added and Thurston Howell III requesting 2K we are at 48K.

I tried to grab email addresses for everyone on the list, but stopped. I ran into too many who do not have an email address in their profile.

Chuck the idea of a counting scale is excellent. If the maker can not bag them at the factory in some reasonable increment. It does raise the question, who has a counting scale? Can they be rented?

Tinker, congrats on the 17mo daughter. Hope the wife is getting better. Would you prefer some one else contact the maker or are you still able to handle it? It would be helpful if they could answer some of these questions. Also, if they have any clue as to the weight of 1,000 shells. It would help to anticipate the postage.

Mike someone has to figure out a final total.
