Going to be announced at the Shot Show. New US Distributor is Kaltron-Pettibone in Illinois.
Kaltron's website is
Kaltron-Pettibone
At the bottom of Kaltron's home page is a link to thier new Lapua and Vihta webpage/online store, but this link will take you straight to it:
vihtavuori-lapua
They are going to have an online store, but it won't be up until announced officially at the Shot Show in Orlando.
At the second link, they have an online form to fill out, offering a free reloading manual. Don't know if they mean the book, or the online .pdf version, (which is available for download at Lapua .
In any case, I asked Kaltron for a list of local retail dist. near me, and they sent the whole US list, as an excel spreadsheet. I cant attach that to this, but if you're interested, PM me and I can e-mail it. Kaltron's rep said it was not only ok, but they would appreciate me passing it around. (No kidding).
The person who contacted me from Kaltron, Jeannie Bolda, got this back to me in less than a day. Pretty quick, I think. For anyone who uses Lapua/Vihta components, etc., it looks like (so far) a company that is going to provide excellent customer service.
I happen to like these products, among others. Costs more, but they have great quality and consistency. (And, dang it, I'm not getting jack for saying that).
Edited to add:
Just went to the bottom of the spreadsheet. It has the Canadian Distributors as well.
