    Bogg's Tool and File out of business?

    Has anyone done business with Bogg's lately? All of their web pages seem to be gone. I hope they are still doing their thing, they have saved me hundreds of dollars over the years.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    just gives a 404 error.
    Isn't that usually a server down or maybe a software update?

    I did a little poking around, and it looks like they forgot to pay for their domain name and GoDaddy locked them out.

    Boggs is very much still in business.

    Called them this morning and had a nice chat.
    He said their website should be back up and running now, if not very soon.

    He also talked about the other items they can sharpen, drills, end mills etc.

    Will pack up my wood files, and ship them out tomorrow to them.

    Glad to see they are still operating!

    I didn't even know such an enterprise existed until this thread appeared. Looks like I need to give them a call to learn what they offer. Thanks.

    Bummer, I just threw out a batch of my dad's files, they were ancient and well used.

    Good thing is I didn't throw ALL of them out, I see a box-o-files winging it's way to the left side of the country in the near future.

    May have to spread the word with the buddies, I know several who would have a "wore out but just can't throw it out box of files" lurking under the bench.
