Fear for the industry
« on: September 11, 2020, 09:37:03 AM »
I don't know how some of these companies are going to survive. As an example:  Nolser, Sierra, Hornady, some smaller companies, Bullet makers, Reloading retailers.. When most all of the popular bullets, brass, primers, and ammunition is "Out of Stock" . I know the demand is there, and that is good. But if the money runs out before the raw materials make it to the production line I fear many will not be able to hang on. Any thoughts?

They've survived before when there was ammo shortages and they'll survive this. They've been around long enough to weather the storm. Just MHO

Lead bullet manufacturors/sellers were  around since the invention of the barrel.

Many of  the reloading componants vendors got their start selling componants to the public due to WW2 shortages.
or Korean War.
Or (fill in the blank)

Others grew out of demand for specialized niche products.

They often grew due to shortages & etc.

If they do not survive, someone will take their place.

It may not be pleasant and they may not deserve it, but it is the way of all things.
And nobody ever said the world guarenteed "pleasant".
