A statement from Federal.

Good link, thanks for sharing.

He's absolutely right. Supply meeting demand isn't always easy. Sometimes it's darn near impossible for supply to meet demand.

The absolute worst response of manufactures is to compromise quality in effort to meet demand.

I seen this video earlier today.

There's crazy people from all backgrounds looking for the latest conspiracy theory or to cancel something they don't agree with, and with the internet's overwhelming reach these crazies have an easier time making baseless claims and attacking people and companies such as Federal and their employees for their own self justified paranoia.

We live in a sad time where conspiracy theory and cancel culture seems to rule.....☹

Conspiracy theories do abound theses days. It's sick to see people like the people at Federal who are just doing a job and putting in a good day's work get hate mail because of someone's disappointment over not getting a consumer good on their preferred timeline. People need to chill. It's going to be a minute before the industry catches up. Grin and bear it.

As we all know a similar ammo shortage happened roughly 8 years ago until it rebounded again with an abundance of available ammo and low prices for quite a few years. I think some people's lack of preparedness by not taking advantage of the low prices and stocking up these past few years are contributing to their own insecurities and this is where the finger pointing comes into play.

Record numbers of first time firearm owners due to Covid/election panic has really tapped a market that was built on the current demand of the time.

The current ammo shortage sucks but it won't be forever because industry will catch up especially where profit is concerned.

Eventually people will run out of places to store all the extra ammo and stop buying it. When that starts to happen things will level out. At least I hope that's how it will work.

NEVER!!!!

Someone else needs to start manufacturing primers. Hornady, Alliant, Hodgdon, IMR?
