Those employment cutbacks by ATK (CCI) make no sense to me at all. I would think there is a back log now as well. The only thing that comes to mind is that retailers aren't paying their bills (such as Sportsman Warehouse) and ATK has cut back on deliveries. I heard that Federal (owned by ATK) ammunition was being cut at Walmarts in favor of Winchester. I don't know it there is any truth to that rumor. It also doesn't make sense unless Walmart is pressuring ATK to cut their price and ATK (Federal, Speer, CCI) told them to stuff it.
Walmart contracts are wonderful for manufacturers, but they can in fact put you out of business when you don't see the profit.

VERY salient points, my friend. Yet few pay close attention.
