DR Wads out of business

If you are a fan of Down Range wads and you see some for sale you should grab them. It is reported the company has ceased operations as of 12/31/25.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought 2000 DR-16's. My guess is Precision or Ballistics will buy the mold. But I'm set for a very long time.

Wow. That is certainly a surprise. Less options is never a good thing.

Recobs had none but Precision has, according to Josh, many in stock as of yesterday.

I hope! There is a lot of load data available for their wads and I'd hate to see more load data become irrelevant due to discontinued components.

I believe they are in the process of selling the molds to Claybuster

I sure hope so. Hate to see them fall by the wayside.
