Copper shortages and price increases

[asd9055]

And no shortage of IRS agents either.,,,,

I don't know Muddy. If you ask Brandon, we did have a shortage, thats why they went to to hire, what was it, 200,000 more?

I applied for a position with the IRS. They asked me if I was "Honest" I said yes. They then turned down my application!

EDIT:
I said I like guns and want to carry one to collect money.-They said you hired.

The correct answer would have been "I am what ever you want me to be"

Exactly the point! Unlike Barnes, big bullet makers like Hornady and Nosler can still sustain their business without their copper bullet/ammo line because they are not highly dependent on that product line.

Sierra bought Barnes in the Remington fire sale.

Great, just great, just what we need LOL.

All kidding aside, I found some WLR primers online, and after hazmat and shipping it was $200, of course I closed the browser and moved on.

Yes, and haven't seen Sierra 7mm bullets for over 2 years now.

Sierra bought Barnes in the Remington fire sale.

So Sierra can sustain (in part) because they are not dependent on Barnes.

Clarus bought both Sierra and Barnes. I think it was a deal on paper that made it look like Sierra bought Barnes, but in reality Clarus bought them both at the same time. I could definitely have gotten bad info on that though.

I guess it means Hammer is the "go to" line of bullets now. Cup and core is not going to hold me hostage.if Sierra, Berger and others fail to produce, there are not many options left.

Oh I dunno Bergers are starting to show up. Hornadys been fairly easy to get for awhile. I constantly get flyers from the ShootersProShop for Nosler seconds. Barnes Match Burners been in stock for a long time. Seems like cup and core are coming along.

Copper bullets.......better learn to pour lead.....and not breathe the fumes....

Don't know why so many fear lead fumes. Controlling pot temperature has a significant effect.
I soldered circuit boards for decades, and have cast for a decade. Ventilation is easy.

Yep! Plenty of options, just like monos.

ADDED: I just perused through Grafs and Midsouth, and plenty of cup and core bullet choices (Berger, Hornady, and Lapua) that I can use.
