Here's how. Here's a quick story about how I got into the bullet business. Okay. I was reading reading the, I think, Firearms News. And they published an old interview with Joyce Hornaday.
And the interviewer asked Joyce, you know, 'what made you get into the bullet business?'
Because at the time of the interview, all they made was bullets. That was before Steve turned it into this, you know, big thing that is now.
And Joyce Hornady said, 'Well, think of it like this. Would you rather be selling dogs or dog food?'
Couldn't get that off my mind. You know how, you know, sometimes you get like a song or something in mind. You need to knock, but it's hanging on. Well, I couldn't. I couldn't get that little sentence out of my out of my head. And so it's like, that makes so damn much sense. You know?
And I was kind of on a mission to get into the bullet business. One of our outsource machine shops is Millennium precision in Pennsylvania. It was the sister company to Lehigh Defense.
And so once I decided I was going to get in the bullet business, I called and said, Hey, Dave, I don't want to blindside you, but I'm planning to get into the business, and I'm probably going to be a competitor against Lehigh Defense.” Well, he called me back about three days later and says, 'Why don't we talk about you buying?'
So that's kind of how that whole thing. Whole thing went, you know, I mean, went from, you know, never even thinking about being in the bullet business to reading reading an old article to you know, I'm in the bullet business six months later, you know?
