I was hoping he would use a couple of harsher words. He tired of it. Lol

I haven't heard any rumors about secret warehouses, meanwhile he is stringently denying their existence.

I'm like 60% sure there are secret warehouses now.

He coulda used a writer. A little repetitive. How 'bout "On behalf of our thousands of American workers", not "American jobs"?
But I do admire his effort.

IMO: If they were warehousing ammo they would be out of business, bankrupt, broke, zero cash by now. Their plant is open, costs continue to be incurred (actually higher than ever before) and they warehouse their product rather than shipping and invoicing, choking revenue? Naw........demand is just through the roof, and with covid restrictions all manufacturing capacity is down. We're essential, serving semi conductor, aerospace, machine tool, general industrial and bio-medical markets with synthetic graphite and other specialty materials made from amorphous carbon. The demand for machinists is higher than ever. Looking at ammo and gun manufacturing, its a demand for the same resources and we're setting records and struggling to keep up. Our own THF members that make ammo and firearms are increasing capacity. I saw where Wilson Combat is enlarging their plant to increase capacity, and Custom Reloads of Dallas is also getting quite a bit larger. (2x, right Chad?). I don't think they're growing by warehousing product.

You should be 100% sure. They have contracts with governments to supply ammo. Those governments store the ammo in secret warehouses.

Federal having their own secret storage, that's just dumb.

He did good

A little more of an explanation on, Just Where all that ammo is being shipped. To the Feds or across the southern border, foreign nations? It sure as heck aint coming down here to Texas, if it is, somebodys getting ready for a rukus.

The majority is coming to Texas as our consumption is/was highest historically.

If shooters would have just bought what they needed to shoot and not bought all they could find, we wouldn't be in this shape.

There are more new shooters now, look at the gun manufacturing business.

why does EVERYTHING HAVE to be a lie or conspiracy, or do we just like to bich ??

personally, I like to bich and get yall sheep doggies worked up

If shooters had planned ahead just a little bit and stocked some ammo when it was plentiful, we would not be having this conversation here.

Oh man, I thought this was a resurrected thread from 2009

People showing up at the factories??? wow

Security is pretty tight and the perimeter is quite large, more of a traffic issue at the gate really.

BS! Sorry but I ain't buyin' their explanation. I keep hearing about "new" shooters. Problem is that most of those will probably be handgun and AR shooters. So I could see a big run on things like 9mm and 5.56. But you can't find a round of hunting ammo anywhere and you can't even buy the components to reload. Brass/bullets/primers/powder is all OUT OF STOCK everywhere. That makes no sense.

How many of these "new" shooters are grabbing a 7mm Mag/300 Mag/338 Mag etc... as their first gun purchase? Something is definitely screwy.

I’ve bought over 1,000 projectiles of multiple calibers (including.224) in the last week. I’ve passed on powder because I’m set for probably a decade. Primers are out there if you sign up for notifications. Just got to put a little more effort in.

It is out there, just have to hunt a bit more....you cam blame a lot of the shortage on the flippers trying to make a quick buck
