Seen on another shooting board...
I saw on Facebook this evening that Jo Ann Alpert, the voice behind the phone at Missouri Bullet Co., passed away March 27. I don't know what from.
Her husband and co-owner, Brad, died in October 2020 from cancer.
I had the privilege of meeting them about 10 years ago. Good people and great 2A supporters.
Rest in peace.
No news on what this means for MBC bullet production. I know they had a large staff, but it's unclear if the company will be sold or taken over by family members.

So sad indeed. I never had the privilege of actually meeting them in person; but I always liked working with MBC. Great family and great staff.
For me it's a "local" purchase too which is always nice.

Very sad indeed. MBC was my go-to company. I found them to be the most consistent, reliable, and fair-priced. I hope the company continues on.

I hope the company continues on.
Ditto

Thier FB says they had planned for this and the company to continue.

I love that part of the story where they decided to use only USPS Flat Rate boxes. And within the first year the PO was having to send a special truck, just to their address.
I ordered one of their "Bundles" one time. Basically it was about 3000 bullets that totaled right up to the 70lb USPPS weight limit. I had it delivered to my work address as a joke. We had this 90lb secretary that delivered the mail every afternoon. One day I got a call, "Can you come down here, there's a box for you that I can't lift !"
