My recollection is that L.E. Wilson was a dedicated bench rest shooter and competitor.I have the impression that his interest in bench rest shooting is what led him into the presicion loading business. I also have the impression that hs was first involved in precision machine tool work and that his interest in the ultimate in rifle accuracy led him to build his own rifles and loading equipment, and the latter became not only his hobby but his livlihood. How whatever gunsmithing he did for others fits in to that equation I am uninformed about, but I would think that it took place largely in the 1950's.
