Question Concerned, Oregon Trail Boolits not answering

For many years I have been using Oregon Trail Laser
Cast Boolits for reloading.

I have Emailed and Called them, no replies at all.

I have read over on a Cowboy Society Site that a
Reloader over there couldn't reach them either.

Also read a Rumor that Rim Rock Bullets Inc. of
Montana Territory had bought Oregon Trail. I
tried same above with no reply also.

Would anyone here have an answer to what happened
to Oregon Trail?

It could mean the loss of a very good product that time has caught up to.

Stop calling them "boolits" and see what happens...

Oregon Trail's bullet casting facility was in Baker City, Oregon. I used to drive through there every so often and pick up some fodder to save a little money. Plus I could pick up unsized/unlubed 45-70 bullets for a finicky Marlin Guide Gun.
They had a lot of machines running. I suppose someone could've moved all of that to Billings Montana.

Uh...yeah...if Rim Rock and Oregon Trail have the same address (which they do on their respective websites) then we have the answer. Oregon Trail is no more. Sad since Dardas just went down also. I liked Dardas.

Hopefully Rim Rock will continue to make the Laser Cast stuff under their name. It's sad to hear of an Oregon based firearms related business apparently folding... to me it's a bad omen of the continuing Californification taking place there.

Sorry, since Rim Rock is a street in Billings that runs right along the "rim rock", I ASSumed that "RimRock" was located in Billings. My bad.
