We've seen unprecedented demand for certain calibers of ammunition andthe primers that charge them over the past several years. We've addedcapacity to meet the increasing demand and are fulfilling backorders.
They are the type of responses that I was expecting - a basic canned response. But, I did get a response, and for the most part, I do believe that they are running at full capacity.
