And yet another reason to hate the war in Ukraine. It truly is a significant cause of poor availability for reloading components:
Message regarding Lapua case availability
Due to the continued high product demand and the prevailing market conditions impacted especially by the Ukraine situation, the availability of some of our products is unfortunately limited and delivery times have become extended. To better serve our civilian and military obligations, some of our components will be temporarily suspended from production. This is due to prioritizing production lines. So what does this mean for you as a consumer? It means that some Lapua products will probably be out of stock in many places in the world for some time to come. This doesn’t mean that we are cancelling any products. It is our intention to resume production of these products as soon as market conditions stabilize. We’re also taking necessary steps at our production sites to improve production capabilities with e.g. new production lines installed during 2023 and 2024. We work as hard as we can every day on all of our sites to produce high-quality ammo and components for you and aim to serve you at normal levels as soon as possible.
Temporarily suspended cases:
Some of the suspended cases are a real bummer for competitors, as Lapua is often the brass of choice for 6mm CM, 6.5x47, and the 308 Palma brass. The 7.62x53R (same as 54R) brass is excellent for anyone who might shoot that caliber in a match.
Probably this situation is the reason I have not seen any Creedmoor .30-06 ammo available from the CMP. It is made from Lapua components. I buy it, shoot it, then reload the brass forever.
Unlike Hornady (Steve Hornady, you suck!), at least Lapua is investing in new production lines.
