A new message from Federal

Watched his lips move and want believe, but I will not be convinced until I see inventory on the shelves or items for sale on the interweb, and I don't mean GB. I truly hope there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not an on coming train.

I was gonna ask ... "So is Joe Biden buying it all up and dumping it in the ocean? Or giving it to the Taliban?"

 

[jelenko]

Well, I didn't hear anything about improving supply from 'now'. I heard that they've increased production, but they been at that level for awhile.

His lack of numbers on what Remington has contributed to the supply say that the numbers would be embarrassing if he did say them.

Maybe I heard it wrong, but I'm less optimistic than before.

I’d like to see primers and powder readily available. But what we get now I “be quick or it’s gone”.

Berger Bullets was just on the forum a couple of days ago saying they have produced more this year by September 30 than all of 2021.......... And 2021 was the year of years for production.

This guy is saying the same thing.

They are in the business to sell stuff, they have the market and they know it. I believe they really are producing "stuff" as fast as they can. It's just they cannot keep up the demand of ......., well, us.

Maybe we are our own worst enemy.

9mm fmj as fast as they can.

All owned by Vista. I have trouble getting any cci rimfire from my distributers, But you can go to CCI and buy it. I can sell CCI 22 wmr for 15.00 a box and make a little money when I can get it from
my distributers. Instead of CCI selling to the distributers they sale direct to the public for 20.00 a box and screw the customer

Well during this and the last shortage, the ammo companies would release to distribution and then the distributors and large sellers started to Jack up the prices. Cheaper than Dirt and others gouged. So I see this “direct selling” as an anti-gouging action,

I shoot more Sierra bullets then any other brand. Sure it's
nice to save a buck, But I can always log onto Sierra's site
and get what I want direct, plus the free shipping.

My local store had more 22 wmr than I've ever seen in one place for $15/50. All fmj or 30 grain stuff so I left it lay.

 

[lancexxx]

The distributor never gouged. It was the retailer

Indeed. Manufacturers are being blamed for gouging they aren’t doing.

And that also sums up one of the issues. When there is a “shortage” I can find all the 45 ACP 230 hardball to sink the USS Missouri, but some 185 gr Target ammo for Bullseye, heck no!

I am seeing a ton of ammo everywhere. Just insanely expensive. $70 a box for 6.5CM? No thanks. Kind of loses it’s appeal as an off the shelf shooter.

They won’t keep their customers long at those prices!

We're experiencing inflation more each day due to escalating government idiocy. I don't know why it wouldn't affect ammo as well.

Perhaps his exact production figures are a company competitive secret...ever think of that? I give him a big + for going public with any information, given how some people react, as evidenced here.

Yes, I did. He mention the number made 'organically' but not any numbers for Remington. If the numbers for Remington were information they didn't want others to know, he could simply have included them in with 'total' production.
The wording in public announcements is gone over carefully several times to get the message right. His breaking out Remington and not mentioning any numbers was intentional.
