Its not possible to create an order from this board that LeVista cares about. To get this done is going to take social engineering. Its going to be a sell based on soul, not shekels. Contact the people you know that have actual pull within LeVista. Ive dropped a bug in an ear, and will see where it goes. Im surprised Gary Roberts hasnt done same, or rather, id say id be surprised if he hasn't.
We buy ammunition in the millions on big contracts. So, it's not like we can just decide on a whim to change ammo.
Plus, the people at those high levels in charge of such things usually don't care and can barely remember which end the bullet comes out. Over the last 5 years we had some good people in critical positions with a clue and some gumption, and their efforts were (rightfully) focused on our primary long gun and pistol, and they fucking nailed it. From talking to them personally, it was pretty draining to make it happen, so I imagine changing shotgun ammo would have been a bridge too far especially considering it's a niche weapon for us. After all, you've got to explain this shit to people who have the mindset of, "well it's worked fine for the last 120 years...".

We made a quick visit to the Federal HQ last week and I talked to some of their folks about #1 FC. There will be more soon, hopefully early next year. Not sure if I should say anything more. My impression is it that the scarcity of #1 FC is not due to lack of demand and that load has plenty of fans inside the company.
