Remington was one factor, but there were more than a couple and we all understand that. Remington didn't create the demand, and it can't satisfy it in the short term no matter what Lonoke puts out. We are all happy the Remington plant is getting back up to speed but the reason for the market disruption is far more complicated than one plant going offline or nearly so.
Remington is now up and running 24/7 in their ammo business!

I'm gonna hope that the retailers put limits on purchases until things get better. My locals have fair prices on ammo but with limits and the shelves are not looking so bare as inventory increases...

sounds good but why did they have people packing by hand, need to modernize that stuff, quality? they must never have shot they golden bullet 22lr, never liked their umc line either. I'm glad they are back in production will probably take a few months off the shortage.

Walmart here finally. Put a 3 box of ammo limit per customer.
Thanks for the offer. This just goes to show that the shooting community is a decent community.
It might sound kind of sad, but the truth is my son was very happy with the range trip.

You know it's the apocalypse when we get excited about Remington .22 being available.

When people are willing to pay 30, 40 even 50 bucks a box of 9mm, yeh, they have plenty of incentive to kick up production.

Bought this earlier this week, which is a good sign...
But, it was $16.99 a box, which is way too much.

Well at least I got the Golden Bullets and not the Thunderbolts.
I don't need many, it is a peculiarity of my Nelson Conversion, it SHOOTS CCI and Aquila but when I get to the end of a stage in 22 IDPA, it won't pull them out of the genuine tight throat match chamber. A few RP in my last magazine let me Un-Load and Show Clear without having to ask permission to "unload through the muzzle."

But were various chamberings found at random times during the day?I’m wondering about situations where people are finding more ammo around, i.e. 2:00 PM, vs. an hour or less after a store opens.
I can't wait to see the "flippers" retreat to their cribs, decorated in stylish Country French, from their profits.
Golden Bullet by Rem. has always been one of the more reliable brands in my standard M&P and Ruger Mark IV Standard.
And after > shortening recoil springs < in both guns, even bulk Federal (blue + Automatch) is finally just as reliable as G. Bullet.

I hope their new ammo will display better QC than their past ammo!

I suspect their "QC" (goodness, how "quality control" is misused!) was rather excellent. Some of their stuff simply didn't run well in some of the more finicky semi -autos out there.

Nah. That's simply not true.

That's not true... Anyone with bad info shouldn't be lecturing anyone.

They need to take serious actions to cut off the supply to the hoarders and particularly the scalpers.
How about a 3 box of ammo limit per customer, plus you have to dip your thumb into a well of India ink?

Hopefully this is good news. We'll see how it translates to ammo on the shelves.
More (quantity) RECENT riots a.k.a. protests
RECENT LEO shootings
Uncertain political 2A future, new bills introduced THIS WEEK (and dummies STILL, SOMEHOW parroting ''oh it's Ok'' and, ''they'll never do that'')
Near record drought of reloading supplies
Ammo shortages and LIMITS, as mentioned very recently i.e. this post
I think we are still a long, long ways out to a NEW normal. No, NOT a return to the OLD normal.
All evidence based...but...what do I know
YMMV

Good for Remington, I hope they get back in the game at full tilt. We are starting to drift back down the shortage road and we've beat that to death. Let's call it a day.
