Nothing.
If they show up again, I will buy them, but not holding my breath. |

I called Kevin yesterday, his voicemail is still full. When I called him back in January it was too but he called me back from caller ID, he has my number and knows me from back when he first started as operations manager at Downrange. Hopefully he will call me back next week.
He was having problems getting materials for just mainstream wads for quite awhile. Had a large backlog for the 12 and 20 which are his bread and butter to keep the lights on. I just checked and Recobs has 12 ga. DR XL1 green and blue along with 20 ga. Orange Dusters so he has been running, they were out not long ago. But I have enough cases of all of those already. Hopefully he will be caught up soon and make a run of DR16.
Loaded a couple hundred 1 oz. 16's last night and have 2 cases of SG16 plus a full trash bag of them. But down to 1K of DR16 so been shooting a lot more 20 ga. lately. And finding out that isn't such a bad thing. But once the DR16 are available again I will never let myself get this low on them. |

| You can probably collect on that million bucks, Mike, some of the 12ga varieties have showed up locally and as you state the bread and butter products will and should be made first. |
