| was playing with some 28's today , and was going to shorten some up to HS length . Grabbed the drill and finally broke the shell trimmer that BD had made . !!?? darn ! Anyway , it reminded me of all the great things the guy had done , besides these . He had me ship the Davis twice up to him and he did all he could to keep it running , including making some parts . Pro Bono !! .... I haven't been able to get in touch with him for a few yrs now , assuming he has passed . Great GUY , GREAT MEMORIES !! |

A family member who lived near Byrdog was able to establish that he passed away a couple years ago. Name and particulars are in my emails somewhere. His shell trimmer is still hard at work with my 16ga once fired hulls.
