Again, not really, but he popularized it that way. You have to remember, as other people have already pointed out, people were shooting this round in the late 60's and all through the 70's long before it was chambered in the AR. It was a very popular wildcat for nearly 30 years before SSK Trademarked the name Whisper®!

It was JD that sold me a handfull of .510 cases and a set of dies and said "knock yourself out".
Perhaps there's something to be said for the way things are approached.
I've since purchased 2 sets of 338W and a set of 375W just by calling up and ordering. He's always been good to me.
Now I have to put the guys at Oly on my Christmas card list too.

Right, again, as long as you are using his stuff and buying things from Him, all will be well. He makes a GOOD product, so why not!
