Can't buy core lokts for reloading?

Post by ailar » 01 Nov 2013, 8:18 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to track down some Remington Core Lokts, projectiles only, with no luck.

Is it right they only make factory ammo for these?

I don't shoot them, but you definitely could buy them as bullets only once upon a time?

Perhaps they've stopped?

At my LGS there were two big boxes of core lotks pills they where trying to get rid of cheap.

Discontinued for reloading from the looks of it?

I was chatting with the bloke at my local store a while, he said due to supply/demand issues they were putting all their rounds into factory ammo.

This was a few months ago.

After the last "scare" in the states over gun control everyone started stockpiling the stuff.

I don't know about them being discontinued, but like a lot of shooting stuff lately I think the US supply is greater than they can produce so they aren't shipping as much (or any in some cases) stuff internationally.

Seems like they've been in a permanent state of 'scared' for 10 years and nothings happened :lol:
