    Spoke with Bill at Swift Bullets yesterday

    It really boggles my mind how lazy people are in this country (USA). We have totally lost our work ethic in this country. Swift has stopped producing .375 AFrames since October.

    ? For Those Of You Who've Killed Crocs With A Gun

    I've never killed one but very anxious next year. Yes I've seen all the videos the brain shot is difficult if not prone and with a very steady rest. I'm just thinking.
