Hornady Suspends Production of 150 Ammo/150 Bullet Types for Balance of 2013
Hornady Suspends Production of 150 Ammo Types and 150 Bullet Types for Balance of 2013
In order to increase deliveries of its most popular types of ammunition and bullets, Hornady announced that it will temporarily suspend production of 150 bullet types and 150 ammo types. IMPORTANT: These bullet and ammo products are NOT being discontinued. Rather, these less-popular, suspended items will simply not be produced for the remainder of 2013. By doing this, Hornady can reduce tool/machinery changes and thereby increase production of products in highest demand. On July 2nd, Hornady issued this statement:

What's crazy is it's not odd ball calibers. 308 175 BTHP & 7mm 162 BTHP are very popular bullets. 9mm 124 FMJ ammo, 30-06, 5.56 TAP, 300WM etc... all are suspended.

If they would crank out massive quantities of 22LR at a reasonable price, they would make a killing. 22LR Has been unobtainable in my area since December.

I live in Mississippi and haven't been able to get .22 in any significant quantity either.

Tons of this stuff
Looks like Hornady may be concentrating on this ammo. A huge new shipment came in to my local gunshop. It is moving quite briskly, possibly because we whites in South Africa have been threatened for years that when Mandela dies, there will be a night of the long knives. I have bought a few packs of 00 buckshot which is advertised as having a 1600fps muzzle velocity. Mandela is looking quite poorly.

I wish you good fortune. Unlike similar threats I've heard here over the years, I'd believe the ones you refer to. In fact; given the circumstances, I wouldn't stop with "a few packs". Pity there isn't time to turn loose that vaunted Afrikaner ingenuity and work out the bugs on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX7vwivR6cE. As a workable alternative, how about this genuine crowd pleaser?
As for Hornady - they're doing what the market and production capacity demands, prioritizing production. Some of their choices puzzle me but there's always Sierra, Barnes, Nosler, Swift, etc. etc to more than address any perceived gaps.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

That machine-gun shows promise. We are outnumbered 10 to one, by no means insurmountable odds. We will have to prevail through superior planning and unconventional tactics and buying a lot more Zombie rounds, as you suggest.
