Lapua wsm is real

The BLUE PLASTIC boxes when they first came out HAD a foam pad to help with preventing damage to the brass. Unfortunately the foam reacted with the sea air and left a blue stain on the cartridge cases where it touched them. This could be polished off the brass in a tumbler. BUT many customers said the brass the " over annealed" and demanded an exchange. So, we went to the segmented cardboard brass to help mitigate brass damage. Thats the story.
In regard to brass availability . LAPUA HAS 16 cartridge cases on its " postponed production list" due to its having to concentrate on MILITARY BRASS to refill depleted ammunition stores in Europe due to the war in the Ukraine. Now 6BR is not on this list. However much of the manufacturing capacity has been turned over to military brass a explained above and this reduced the number of cartridge case machines. WHICH LAPUA IS WORKING ON HAVE NEW MACHINES ADDED TO HELP RPRODUCTION. Along with building a new manufacturing facility to produce more VV POWDER and 155mm artillery shells.
So we are not standing still. Neither is BERGER BULLETS or our RIMFIRE ( LAPUA and SK). We brought out the 300 WSM with the 6GT cases later this year because of customer requests that we do not ignore. BUT you can only do so much. And we are doing our best during these trying times to service both our military and civilian customers.
Thank you for your understanding, patience and loyalty.
And there it is, no more speculation.
