Soooo,
When will we have wads? Enquiring minds want to know.

Any news? I have contacted Down Range multiple times and never got a reply. And I was polite.

I think Charles H deserves the credit for all his time and money in development. I would never have taken my fanfare to 16 ga to the degree he did, but I still stand by my statement from Feb 2, 2015 it discussing downrange:

I don't think we should threaten anyone, but make sure they understand the results of actions taken.
I ran purchasing for the largest division of a major international company and will tell you from experience that sales departments don't do a good job of analyzing the marketplace.
If you are running out of product on the shelves 1 of 2 results ARE going to happen:
1. A competitor is going to enter the marketplace and not only fill the void, but take away some of your market share.
or
2. The consumer is going to develop new ways of 'replacing' your product resulting in a reduced market share and the evil term market potential lost.
If DR is in it to make money both these scenarios actually reduce their profits. A result felt beyond that of the 16 gauge and market reputation is hindered therefore leading some consumers away from other products for other gauges.
Obviously they would never had made the wad in the first place if it was not financially feasible to do so. No one goes into pre-product of a new product if they don't envision a market or profit from it. They would also not have made it with a plan to run out or remain out of the product. They would also not plan to continue with the product if it was not profitable to do so. They have chosen to supply this market and they have chosen to continue to supply this market. That is not out of the goodness of their heart, but out of the drive for profit.
I am sure claybuster would not be developing a 2nd 16 ga wad because it is not profitable to do so or that a demand does not exist.
Davis,
I am glad you were clear in your concern with Kevin. From the post I have read in the past it seems to me that they have been evasive in explaining the situation. If you are never the squeaky wheel in business you are always assured disappointing results.

Nope, this the right number or is there a special one for the DR -16. I saw something about this but forget.
Thanks
