Yes. They have been overwhelmed with orders and have stopped taking manual Evo orders until they get caught up. Jay told me today to send a bunch of .500 brass so they could design the shellplate.Originally Posted by Don Purcell
I'm sending him fired and unfired Starline, and fired Hornady, as that's all I use. Probably 500 of each. Priority mail will go out tomorrow. Also a book I've been sitting on forever...

Book? I dare not hope.
LOL! It's a book a member here sent me to sign, and I'm just now getting it back to him.
HOWEVER, recent events have given me a very strong idea for a major plot development...

Huzzah!
Lyman just bought Mark 7.

Yes, that's been in the works for a little while, and they just announced it.
Hope this helps.

I hope it doesn’t hurt....
I am not a fan of the trend to buy business you don’t like (and a non compete clause), just to eliminate them.
Why would Lyman not like the Mark 7? They don't make anything progressive as a competitor.......what did I miss?
Must have still been on my Facebook rant last night.
This is from the email they send me a few days ago.
Mark 7 is pleased to announce that it has been acquired by Lyman Products Corporation (href: https://www.lymanproducts.com. Lyman has been in the shooting sports industry for 124 years and owns many successful brands like Pachmayr. Lyman brings to Mark 7 deep manufacturing capabilities and resources that will enable Mark 7 to grow to new heights. There will be no change to the the location of Mark 7, the brand, the employees, and the management of the organization. But you as a customer of Mark 7 will benefit in many ways as our product suite grows in breadth and depth in the near future. We thank you for your continued support as we embark on this new chapter in our development.

Has anyone bought and used one of these? I watched the video below. It looks really good, but there seem to be a lot of moving parts (more so than a 1050/1100?) and I foresee cleaning/maintenance problems down the road if I bought one. And the $3000 price tag for a basic unit gives me pause, also.
