Ammo inc is also on line in WI
this also didn't appear to state XM193 just ss109 and m855
most civilians would shoot XM193
Winchester has the contract to operate , they could not re-sing the contract when time is up and put every dime of profits into operating it's other plants
the LC plant is also tooling up for 6.8x51 with new buildings that ammo will be substantially more expensive than the 855 or 109 those will have to increase in price to Gov contract a bunch of weekend shooters can run more ammo on a weekend that the army uses in a month
if you take the profit out of Lace city then who will bid on the contract later ?
does it specify that LC can't make and sell excess brass that is not a loaded round ? that could as profitable semi loads of brass sent to other loading companies
how will it influence the pull down market every out of spec round would have to be pulled down rather than resold if they miss velocity minimum by a margin.
there are an estimated 20 million regular target shooters in the US and the break down is 12 million rifle , 13 million pistol , 10 million shotgun and 3 million muzzle loader , with some obvious overlap
every time there is an ammo crunch people buy more shoot a little less and billions more rounds of ammo go into private ownership.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

This might also have something to do with the addition of, and change to, the 6.8x51 cartridge that will be produced at Lake City There have not been 20 million 6.8x51's made yet.

No need to worry, you will find plenty for free when it matters most, keep your AR's. Yep. Told my sons a while back that if you're gonna buy a gun it needs to be .223/5.56, 9mm, .40, or .308. They asked why? I said because you can likely find more on dead soldiers and citizens.
Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything!

I don't understand. How can Biden tell a private manufacture to stop selling to a select demographic? Is he maybe threatening Winchester with their contract for the military, otherwise why wouldn't Winchester tell Biden to pound sand? Technically we are not a free country. If those in power say no, they will get their way. Just like certain books that were not allowed to be published. Yes, it's hsppened.

I know I sound tin-hatish, but I've been saying for years now that our ammo and component shortages are not because of "hoarders".
There's no reason companies haven't ramped up production to meet a growing demand that started 30 years ago under Clinton. Any other industry would've unless there's behind the scene reasons.
Take our recent oil industry as an example?
Yep , I agree

I have enough of that ammo to get more of it if it came to needing more....
