Business disagreements aside, it still looks like a tough way to make a living. I am old enough to remember both iterations of BELL, and wasn't there someplace similar in Colorado once? The problem with drawing cases is that you have to guess at the demand, tool up, futz around to get it right, make some sort of economic run size and then inventory the stuff like whiskey. Not a set of problems I would want! The small lathe based operations like Rocky Mountain Cartridge can probably operate much closer to build to order. As a user I prefer the drawn cases, but I wouldn't want to try and make and sell them.
