I needed some special bullets for my lion hunt

coming up in a few weeks and none of our distributors had any in stock. The bullet was the 375 caliber Hornady DGX, Dangerous Game Expanding. Steve Hornady is a good friend so I dropped him a note last night to see if he had a box or two of the bullets. Steve is a great guy and a better friend you will never have. That is why all our custom dies are Hornady Custom and I try my best to promote his bullets. Here is Steve's reply to my note,

Gary,
I can sympathize. I’m leaving for Africa week from tomorrow and needed some 375 Ruger ammo and we were out so I told the guys to handload some and we didn’t have any bullets! Ended up some of our people had a stash at home so I was able to get enough for my trip. Saying all that to tell you I don’t have two boxes to send, I don’t have one box! but I do have 20 bullets which I will send. I am sorry I can’t do better but with everything going on last year we didn’t run quite a few items since the demand was so low and now we can’t catch up!

Regards,
