Thread: Small Pistol Primer info.

Just picked this up over on the ruger forum:
"Olin Corp., East Alton, Ill., was awarded on Mar. 26, 2009, an $11,766,647.00, firm fixed price contract for 9mm Ammunition, 85,540,500 each. Work will be performed at East Alton, Ill., with an estimated completion date of Dec. 31, 2010. One bid was solicited and two bids received. U.S. Army Contracting Command, Rock Island, Ill., is the contracting activity (W52P1J-06-D-0031).

Now you know where the bulk of Winchester's Small Pistol primers, at least, are going."

Dang..................

+1 I would really like to find my ammo at wally world again sometime soon.

That works out to about $6.88 a box. Wonder if they'll take a contract from me? :D It'd be a little smaller though.

Today at the range (I didn't shoot, too long a wait) a guy was saying he called CCI yesterday and asked what the deal was with primers and they told him they were over 90,000,000 behind. This is "third hand" info, so keep that in mind, though I tend to believe it.
