[QUOTE="sw282, post: 1984820, member: 93980"] Vernon SPEER started making bullets after WWII when none were to be had from empty 22cases. His brother started Cascade Cartridge lndustries making explosive rivets for industry. He began making primers (CCI) the same reason Vernon was making bullets. Then there's Roger Huntington to round out the trio of the Rock Chuck Bullet Swage Company... He was making swaging dies for people to make their own boolits. Roger developed a swaging press, the ''Rock Chucker''. Later the 3 companies were owned by Omark lndustries. lf you needed special dies for your personal wildcat ctg RCBS would make it for you. Broke an RCBS product, no problem. A new one is in the mail.No more special dies l hear, along with 2/3 of their catalog. lf you had a loading question a SPEER ballistic expert was a dial away. Same with CCI primers. Vista came along and ate them ALL. NOW, lf you have a problem you may as well call the MAN IN THE MOON.:mad: [/QUOTE]
