From a feller who had called me on the phone a couple months ago.
A shooter well into his "Elder Statesman" years, he has a Bond Derringer in .45, and thought maybe the Cowboy .45 Special might allow him to enjoy shooting it. He was a bit skeptical, so I offered to send him a sample pack at a nominal fee, and I told him I'd also send along some bullets I wanted him to try.
He'd told me he wanted something that would work well with BP, so I sent him a couple dozen EPP UG bullets to try out.
So a month later he ordered a couple hundred pieces of brass, and asked where he could get some of them "cute little pills" I'd sent him.
Now I'm NOT in the bullet biz, but I know there's a shortage of ready made EPPs these days, so I gave him a price on a couple hundred out of my own stock. He's only using em in side matches and for pure pleasure, getting plenty of BOOM, plenty of smoke and fire, and his arthritic bones tolerate the light recoil well.
Today he sent an order for the bullets, and his comments made all the headaches that are incumbent in any business venture worthwhile.
Not the biggest order, nor the most renowned shooter, but dang if it didn't make me feel good knowing I helped put a .45 back in the older gent's hands.
DD deserves half the credit. His little EPP is a winner once again, with a little bit of FFG and the C45S cases in a Bond Derringer.
