What a mess.
That night over dinner in Al Sledge's trailer in the campground, Paul was showing me some of his paper patch rolling tools for patching bullets. They were okay, but I told Paul I didn't need that, and they were not really making things more efficient, but what we really did need was a patch dispenser that didn't blow down range.
He just looked at me, wagged his finger at me, and said, "I'll have a prototype in your mailbox in two weeks." And he did. I haven't been without one since.
