When will the Lapua Brass drought end?

I picked up some off one of the Forums the other day plus some bullets and magazines for the G. at a reasonable price. I laid in some for all my wildcats a couple years ago. Of course you can make it out of the ARC or 7.62X39. Not that will be Lapua quality .

I’d say you’ll be able to buy Lapua brass of any kind from any vendor about the time that the PRS fizzes out and social media is canceled.

As long as people are keeping up with the Joneses on Instagram and buying 500 pieces of brass when 50 would smoke a barrel, there’s going to be a shortage.

I’m not mad about either of these things. I like to show my guns off, and I have nothing against guys doing competitive calisthenics with their rifles. It is what it is.
 
I dont understand the pause on all these popular cases honestly…I get that 6BR and Grendel are low volume, compared to military requirements, but is Lapua a big military vendor for ammo?

If they are still at full production volume, where is the brass/ammo going? Ukraine ain’t really shooting it, are they?
 
I honestly don't think so...

I haven't for a while.

I think it's a distinct possibility components from the US manufacturers have been siphoned off to Israel for a while now.

That is what they did during the Vietnam war.

Israel has been at war in Syria for a couple years now. Our media just doesn't cover it.

They want everyone watching Ukraine.

I am starting to anneal my Lapua every firing. Got a bunch of split necks before by being lazy about this.
