Something that I have said over and over, when you get a premiere bullet maker, buy tons and tons. It is all money in the bank. You will not lose. I have been shooting Hottensteins four 15 years and a lot of the top shooters in this area have been doing the same. I have bought a large number of his bullets over a period of years. Stopped a few years ago, because of inventory, and have about another 3 years to go before I run out. One person that some of you may have overlooked Bill Mitchell, here in Ontario, makes some of the best. When I run out and if I am still shooting I will be calling him, if Lowell has stopped making them. I was given a bunch of Bill's bullets a year or so ago and I was totally impressed. This is not a sales pitch, if you make a crap product, I will be the first to tell you. But on the other hand if you do good, I will be the first to tell. (based on how big the cut is,EH!)
