I am always amazed at what people believe and this article is one of them. This guy makes claims without any sort of evidence. Saying he heard it from a friend 'in the industry' isn't evidence. So he comes up with another conspiracy theory -- that the big boys are starving smaller companies out of business so they can claim that market. What small ammo company has gone out of business? I didn't see any listed. You would think that if a company was starved out of business because they couldn't get primers that their CEO or President would be saying something and would probably be suing Vista right now. Nothing I know of. Anyone out there know of an ammo manufacturer who has gone out of business because Vista Corp withheld primers from them?
Also, I haven't seen Wolf or CHICOM ammo or components since this all started. Imported ammo and components was probably half the market because they were so cheap. Imports stopped when Covid started and all of that demand was shifted on to US firms. Remington goes out of business and more demand is placed on fewer companies. So I believe the supply and demand side.
Nope -- I don't believe anyone in the ammo business saw this coming. And they would be morons to invest millions in capital goods with all three branches of government gun haters. And in five years, if we survive the leftists in charge now, I imagine the demand for primers and ammo will be not much different than today.
Do I trust the guys running these places to tell me the truth? Not on your life. I have never seen such a disaster in terms of public relations between these companies and the majority of the long term shooting community. They are totally incompetent when it comes to communicating with those who keep them afloat for the long term. The guys who support them long term are the handloaders and competitive shooters, most who handload unless sponsored. I won't forget how we are being treated by these places.
