How Peterson Cartridge Company decides on new cartridge brass

Ok folks ,
After meeting with our President , I've come up with answers for everyone's questions about how we decide what brass were going to make.
First off , our priority is to keep up with the 35 cartridges we're making now. That being said , we also have 12-15 cartridges we are actively pursuing (no , I cannot discuss what they are , sorry).
So , into the general process........
1. Is a cartridge already on our radar?
2. Is it brass people are wanting ?
3. Do we make anything in that family of cartridges already?
4. Cost of development. If its not in a family we already do , the tooling costs can be extremely expensive.
5. Is there a market for it?
A. Is it a growing caliber ?
B. Is it a dying caliber ?

Now , for all you guys that I am certain are trying to figure out what the 12-15 are we are actively pursuing........
1.Some are a family of cartridges we already make
2. Some are in fact new all together.

I know that some are going to want to know more but as things continue to grow we will continue to release more information at the appropriate times.

We have heard all of your requests and all have been looked at. My hope is that this helps answer the questions being asked a couple weeks ago. Schedules and timing were tricky and I apologize for the delay. Please feel free to continue with your suggestions , and comments. The feedback has been fantastic and the entire Peterson Team thanks you for your input and support of our products.
