Videos tagged with Brass Shortage

This video from Trench Grenade, featuring insights from an experienced speaker, warns of an impending ammunition crisis in the United States. The speaker details how significant military aid to Ukraine, Israel, and NATO, coupled with domestic supply chain issues for primers, powder, and brass, is creating a 'bubble effect' making ammunition and components scarce and expensive. He strongly advises viewers to stock up on ammunition, recommending a minimum of 3,000 rounds for both rifle and pistol, and a total of 10,000 rounds if possible, while emphasizing compliance with all applicable laws.

This video, featuring firearms instructor Robbie Wheaton, delves into the complex reasons behind current ammunition shortages and high prices. It covers historical demand spikes, manufacturing bottlenecks, raw material scarcity (especially brass and primers), labor issues exacerbated by COVID-19, and the impact of increased demand from new gun owners and potential legislative changes. The discussion emphasizes that the current situation is primarily a supply and demand issue, not a conspiracy, and offers advice on stocking ammunition and understanding market dynamics.

The video discusses the ongoing ammunition shortage, citing manufacturer statements from CCI and Hornady. CCI initially predicted a return to normal by Summer 2021, but this has not materialized due to ongoing global issues. Hornady forecasts no slowdown until the end of 2021, citing employee fatigue, machine maintenance, and raw material shortages, particularly primers and brass. The shortage extends to cardboard, impacting packaging. Positive developments include Vista Outdoors restarting Remington factories and Fiocchi opening a new US facility, but potential import restrictions loom.
