No more core-lokts for reloading?

Post by quickdraw » 05 Oct 2013, 7:23 pm

So apparently Remington are no longer selling core-lokt bullets for reloaders...

You can buy factory ammo still, but if that ammo doesn't work well in your particular rifle then you're s**t out of luck.

Anyone confirm if they're actually no longer selling it, or if it's just a temporary supply shortage?

I couldn't see why they would stop selling them as their obviously a popular bullet and plenty of people will only shoot hand loads.

I'd say supply shortage given the state of things over the past 6 months in the US.

Whether due to a temporary shortage or not, the effect can be the same.

If all the yanks are scrambling to stockpile everything they can and they all want factory ammo, Remington will direct all their resources to factory ammo.

Either way, means no bullets for you unfortunately.

I've seen a few bullets around in my travels. Might be a matter of finding somewhere that still has some old ones in stock and snatching them all up until supply returns to normal.
Thin out their numbers, Ned!

Mmm, thin out their numbers!

Stock up and import a few boxes from the US?
