    Adirondack Jack's Barnstormer II/III gone forever?

    I was perusing a SASS board looking at some 45 Cowboy Special loads and ran across mention of this 125/130 grn hollow base 45 cal boolit (Laser Cast 250 on the left for comparison, Barnstormer II center, and Barnstormer III on right):

    I've searched high and low for more information on this site and others but it seems health issues and political climate converged to stymie development and production of this most versatile little boolit well before its time. Not much mention of it since about 2011 or so.

    Found this video from 2010 demonstrating production using a tricked out three piece mold on a Master Caster:

    Perhaps some folks here have some insight and experience with Barnstormers and know if anyone is producing them?

    When Jack decided to call it quits, I purchased the mold and rights for the barnstormer. I make them as time permits and get backlogged sometime. If f you are patient, I will get your order filled.
    I take MO or personal check. No Paypal,Zelle or other electronic payment.
    I ship flat rate with insurance and tracking.

    Once again this site has proved itself to be nothing short of freakin magic!
    When I get onto something I do a lot of reading, searching, more reading, more searching, learn a lot along the way, but when I feel like I'm at a dead end I use a lifeline, post a thread here, and boom... shootinfox2 has the actual molds and is making Barnstormers.

    I hope this thread helps some others who want to experiment with an interesting boolit for sure. I'll be placing an order.

    Thanks to GW and shootinfox2!
