Wow.
While he was not his father,, he did have some good influence at the Company when he was there. THe 357 Maxi comes to mind first.
May he RIP.

While I never met the gentleman, I do feel a depth of gratitude to him for helping get my favorite caliber to the firing line; the 357 Maximum.

Sr, Jr, and David Bradshaw deserve the nod for all their work and diligence as the founders of that world class cartridge. I will always remember the stories David has shared with us of working with Bill Jr. and the Ruger family. A family we shall not see the likes of again anytime soon.

I want to send out a special condolence to Lee and David. Their continuing efforts to help us all is just a continuance of the legacy of that fine family.


Prescut
A sad day for all of us.
