Why can’t you make more? Ramp up production? Turn on all the machines?

We’ve been steadily growing our production for a long time, especially the last five years. We’ve added presses, lathes, CNC equipment, people and space. Many popular items are produced 24 hours a day. Several hundred Hornady employees work overtime every week to produce as much as safely possible. If there is any question about that – please take a tour of the factory. You’ll be amazed at what you see.

We are producing as much as we can; much more than last year, which was a lot more than the year before, etc. No one wants to ship more during this time than we do.

Why yes, ammo producers are intentionally not making more product that they could immediately sell! X_Digger Jun 2013 #17

Why do they need all of these bullets???? They are stockpiling for the upcoming Bolo Boffin Jun 2013 #18
