When will the Lapua Brass drought end?

[SG4247]

I ask myself this question every weekend.

Any word?

 

[GLShooter]

It just depends on the chambering. Lots here locally for the long range guys. No Grendel as it is on hold. Check BRUNOS.

 

[SG4247]

Grendel is my need at the moment.

 

[GLShooter]

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 saw 100 pieces of 6.5 PRC at Sportsmen's Warehouse,$189.00

Only the Ruskies can answer that.

Only the Ruskies can answer that.

It’s not gonna get better with what’s going on in Israel.

 

[Fuj]

It’s not gonna get better with what’s going on in Israel.

SHTF over there for sure, but at least their own IMI brass production
will ramp up which brings more of a problem since Sierra is one of the
main bullet contractors for them......

 

[Clancy]

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.

If history tells us anything about whats going on in Israel, it should be over in a couple of days.

 

[SG4247]

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?

 

[DLT]

Grendel is my need at the moment.

Have any lapua 223 ? Might can help you out

 

[SG4247]

Down to one box of .223 so no.

My .223 match ammo is now 11 times fired.

Thx DLT

 

[urbanrifleman]

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.

 

[jelenko]

I thought Lapua announced they have suspended production of various reloading components due to the war in Ukraine.

 

[M-61]

Personally, I don’t and won’t miss them

 

[M-61]

Lost me.
During the Vietnam war, who did what to whom?

 

[DLT]

Down to one box of .223 so no.

My .223 match ammo is now 11 times fired.

Thx DLT

I understand that all the way

 

[jimmymac]

Personally, I don’t and won’t miss them

I will. Best stuff I ever used.

 

[Tesoro]

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