Fowler Bullets Anyone Receiving?

I ordered some bullets last Fall,late November)from Mr Fowler prior to his death. After his death I contacted Fowler - I believe I talked to his son and reordered as they had no record of the original order. I realize that even with his father it took awhile for my order to show up. Is anyone receiving bullets from Fowler at this time?
 
Jeff's son Ed is making bullets at this time. A shooter At the match I was in yesterday said he was in the same boat you are, and just recieved 3K bullets from Ed. I don't think Jeff kept very good records and we will see if Ed will do better. I just ordered some 10X bullets,Glenn Chism's old dies), and was told they would ship in about a week. Got my fingers crossed.
 
I'm hoping they will shoot like the Eubers and Fowlers have shot for me in the 30 BR. I have some Fowlers on order and don't really know for sure how long it will take. Eubers shoot very well but to say they ain't cheap is an understatement. If I can get the 10X's to shoot well, and the turn around is as good as I'm told, a larger order may be in store. I just checked out the schedule on the IBS webpage, and it looks like I could shoot a match virtually every weekend through the end of September,with a few group matches mixed in). And that's with less than a 5-6 hour drive for any of them,most being inside 3). Now that's some serious trigger time. If you live in the east and you aren't shooting VFS, you are missing out on a hell of a lot of shooting fun:D. Of course I may go broke if I try to shoot them all:,.

For the record, the 10X bullets were originally made by [the late] Guy Chism; following Guy's death, Chad Schmidt and Dick Baier purchased Guy's "stuff" and are continuing to make these most excellent bullets. Pardon me if this seems picky; Guy's 10X Bullets were THE yardstick for thirty caliber bullets. Guy was a good mentor and competitor . . and a GREAT human being. Good shootin'! R.G.

Oops, you are right Randy, I somehow stuck Glenn's name in there.
 
Just noticed that my credit card has a charge from Fowler bullets today so I'm sure my order has shipped. Reordered the end of January so about 7 weeks which is pretty good.
 
:p

My 10X's arrived today via Priority Mail. If I had ordered 1000 bullets from Midway or Graf's or whatever, it would of taken longer to get them. I ordered them on Monday and they are here on Friday, and they still had to be made after the order.

Ordered my 30 cal Fowlers on 3/7 and Ed said he could ship them in three weeks. The bullet fairy left them on my front porch this morning...three weeks and two days including shipping.

That's great to hear. I wish they all could be had so quickly. I'm having Ed deliver a couple thousand to the Super Shoot so I can avoid those nasty shipping charges. Course I hate to figure out how much that delivery fee is really gonna cost me;):eek:.
