[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1180773, member: 12995"] Who would want to see a business lose piles of money, unless you were in direct competition? And even then, if you start the bandwagon, maybe you might be ahead of the curve and profit 100x over from that few-thousand dollars? Also, he cuts his bullets on a lathe, I don't think he requires molds...But I'm not positive, as I've never made bullets before. So not 100% on if he uses chunks of round-stock, or pre-molded unfinished slugs that need final lathe cutting? Have you ever thought that maybe the market is non-existent now, because back when all this got started, they never made a heavy high BC bullet offering in those calibers, so now it is a very small market... The bullet manufacturers created this small niche' market we now have. I don't know, but it could have been the downfall? Saying there is no market out there, is a matter of opinion. If every other caliber bullet on earth has a LR market, don't you think it's about time we brought the .257 and 8mm up to speed to see if we can give every shooter an option? For decades the 25-06 and .257 Weatherby have been extremely popular, along with the .257 Roberts, and numerous other .257 cartridges. The 8mm RemMag and .325 WSM would have probably been a lot longer lived had there been a better selection of 8mm bullets for it during the height of its popularity. [/QUOTE]
