Winchester to buy Ammo Inc

Just read that Winchester is acquiring Ammo Inc. Say what you will about either company, this doesn't look good for the consumer.

Ammo Inc has consistently proven to be one of the more affordable options in my part of the world. They have been the only brand of .44 Special I have found anywhere for the last couple of years. I am not optimistic that either of these trends will continue under Winchester's management.

The press release I saw at Ammoland news (sorry I can't figure out how to incorporate a link) indicates that the purchase should help Winchester to "lower costs of existing high volume products". Also claims that this will "increase our ability to participate in higher margin specialty rounds at a cost advantage".

Or, to phrase it in simpler language, they are going use this capacity to help them save money making their bread and butter products. If there's any room left over, they will use it to make civilian ammo at inflated prices.

Awesome.

When you're on the site and page you want to be just right click on/in the address bar (it should highlight then) and it'll give options. Option to choose would be "copy" (left click it), then on this site where you type right click. Right clicking should give an option to "paste" (do that by left clicking). If it's something other than windows I couldn't help you.
 
Hmm….
As old man Harris* used to say when he was suspicious of something, “they’s a skunk in that briar patch, somewhar”

( * I worked for him over summer breaks, pre drivers license age.. Kinda cranky old guy; no telling how rich, but tight. Had a ramshackle ‘farm’ where nothing worked right, lol…)
 
Yep! This sucks!
Winchester ammo is already HUGE, if they've not figured out a way to streamline their way to savings, buying Ammo inc. sure as hell will not solve the problems they (Winchester) should have solved long ago. Especially since they've had numerous military contracts to figure it out.
