<Arthur Olds>Swift .404's!!!
Gents...just in from the Dallas Safari show...talked to the people at the Swift Bullet Company booth and they are in the process (soon) of a run of .404's for Dakota...the kind man was in the mood to take orders and will notify us when they are in the making...now would be a good time to get in line...call, write, use their web site...if enough come through (Ray walked down immediately on hearing the news....) perhaps this could be a "standard" thing...Arthur

<lb404>I placed an order for 20 boxes right on the spot. this is a great move for all of us fans of the 404 and I don't want to miss this chance. I have been asking for one for over 10 years and now it seems to be going to happen.

AtkinsonArt told me and I went down and ordered 200 for myself. Lb404 won't live long enough to shoot 20 boxes but it makes him feel good and I'll get the remainder from his widow, as I will surly outlive him and Art, thereby having a lifetime supply of bullets...but then I have at least 20 boxes of Woodleighs if times get hard....I told my wife not to sell them any in the event of my demise.

<Arthur Olds>Ray and others, since none of my children have shown the slightest interest in hunting (oh, they all LIKE to eat venison...but none want to do the work...)nor any of the grandchildren, and since none of my hunting buddies would think of a .404, I will have to leave instructions to GIVE the bullets to some kind, deserving soul (like Ray, Walter or any really SMART person who shoots a .404)when I check out...not too soon, I hope, I have too much left undone...
