They can't keep up to demands now ! 6PPC, 6BR

It really doesn’t make sense, does it? Why would they add to the product line while they can’t keep up with current demand?

 

[Larryh128]

I for one am glad they did.

I would have much rather seen 221FB come back again.

Exactly!

A quick search showed retail prices of $177 to $200 for the 300 WSM and $125 to $155 for the BR. Material and production cost differences would probably not be that high. So I'm betting that they have a higher profit margin with the WSM.

The profit margin per case may be higher but quantity of sales for BR would be enormously larger.

If they ran the entire production in 6br for a year they could sell it all.

I’m in!!!!

I feel like as a customer who has been waiting for back ordered brass for 4 months that this should piss others off as well. They can't even keep up with current demand and they want to make other brass? I have 100 pieces of Peterson. If it performs the same, I'll be switching no doubt.

I’m signed up with many vendors waiting for 223 Match brass to be back in stock. When I contacted Lapua directly they said a steady stream is hitting the market. I don’t believe that to be the case based on what I see. Their recommendation was to get on notification lists with said vendor's. I am happy for you WSM guys though, hope you get what you need. One fine day I’ll be able to stock back up too. Good shooting!

Econ 101. When demand outstrips supply, cost goes up. They must be comfortable with their profit margins.

There have been shooters ( not me) screaming for Lapua WSM brass since the WSM came out, which is WAY longer than any current shortages. Give your fellow shooters a break.

 

[Loudenboomer]

Makes me wonder if there could be a niche Military market somewhere??

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that isn't your share of brass.
I'd bet you would have at least a couple more boxes.

If I could find two boxes of that stuff, my cartridge decision would be made for me.

 

[ebb]

I see two boxes that say 300 win short mag, I don't see any brass. Are you sure it's real?

Why would he post this if it wasn’t real? Come-on.

 

[Iowa Fox]

From copper plated BBs to 50 BMG if you need it stock up. I don't see commodity prices going down anytime soon.

I don't know anybody that receives from UPS or FedX with material rollers to their reloading bench. Geno may, but it looks like a picture from the factory. Till it is in someone's hand its still an unfilled order. What if they send it on a ship with a bunch of EVs and it burns to the waterline and sinks. Thats only happened 2 or 3 times in the last few years. Putin's thugs are sabotaging stuff all over Europe, what if they hit the Lapua plant? When its in Geno's reloading press then we can all rejoice!!!! And a promise from Lapua is better than anything we will get from ATK. Sorry I am just disgusted with all that is going on in the world today.
