confused
ATK is without a doubt the worst corporation I have ever had any contact with. Thier CEO resigned, they are under multiple investigations and nobody even knows ( including ATF) who the current responsable parties are ( as mandated by Federal Law). If I had to guess I would say there will be a huge "shackup" atleast some of my friends beleive they will not make it.
this is from the 6mmbr site
seems to differ from your information, you mention wolf primers as stepping up production to take care of demand while the american company has a personal vendeta against you, it has been stated that wolf primers were premade from years ago and the current shortages just gave them the oprotunity to sell out inventory I don't believe it had anything to do with "taking care of the consumer" but hey go ahead and wage your war and keep thrashing an american industry that works 24hrs a day 7 days a week trying to meet demand, thats your right as a American.
