Where is the Lapua Brass

[bsekf]

Finally got a 6BR and now can't find any Lapua brass. Thought it was going to be here in March?

The shipment of LAPUA brass has been delayed due to the big storms on the east coast disrupting off loading of ocean freight. If all goes well after the storms are done we hope to see the brass in house and shipping in the next 2-3 weeks at most. Our apologies for this delay.

when youve got no competition you can abuse the customer thats for sure but i think Lapua will be finding more competition to deal with in the future

Thanks for the update. We're glad you're paying attention.

I've found their stuff to be relatively reasonably priced, and supply pretty steady, but I don't shoot 6BR. I do appreciate that a Lapua rep was kind enough to be here to answer the question directly.

I also give that two thumbs up.

i dont think they tried to create a shortage to drive up the price. i dont think the price is a big factor to most guys. i just dont think there had to be a shortage and wonder why it happened. (real story)

They are not concerned with br brass they seem to want to bring out more obscure offerings

You guys can thank the inherent accuracy and ease of tuning the 6BR for its own brass shortage. It was only a matter of time before the 6BR and it’s wildcat variants transferred over into the rapidly evolving PRS world. The other factor is the quantity of brass that PRS shooters use, which is much more than BR shooters. I would really like to see a chart from Lapua showing what I presume a massive rise over the last few years is brass sales. Maybe if everyone would stop bragging about how great the case is we could all get some brass when we need it.

if 6br sales have increased that much,and i have no reason to doubt you, in a competive marketplace if supply is to constricted competitors will step up and start supplying the product. i think this is in the planning stages right now.
