Re the 7-30 Waters �

At an NRA convention in Seattle, Dick Pelton (the CEO of USRAC at the time) asked me whether I'd designed any rimmed cartridges that'd be suitable for the Big Bore 94.

I hadn't � then.

So I urged him to take a long, hard look at Ken's excellent and proven wildcat 7mm-.30-30.

Dick was smart enough to run with that notion.

He got Federal (IIRC) to agree to make the ammo, and the result is ammo history.

Too bad that an excellent lever-gun cartridge isn't selling as well as it should be.


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
