[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 319591, member: 412"] They're going to have to figure out how to manufacture their own priming compound, primer cups, and smokeless powder first and foremost. Brass and projectiles can probably be out-sourced with reasonable availability. It's an interesting concept. The closest thing out there right now to a vertically integrated ammo manufacturer in the US is Vista Outdoors owning several separate companies that can cooperate to provide loaded ammo. IE: Alliant, CCI, Federal, and Remington. That said, Alliant powders still have to make the trip from Europe. CCI is primers and loaded ammo but no powder Federal is ammo, brass, and primers but no powder Alliant is just powder Speer is ammo and projectiles but no powder or primers Outside of V/O in the US you've got: Hodgdon which owns obviously all of the "H" powders but also the IMR, Winchester, and as of Dec/Jan all of Western Powders (Ramshot, Accurate, and Norma). But most of them are made outside of the USA. Very little smokeless powder is actually Made in the USA. "H" extreme powders all come from Aus with the non-extreme ball powders coming out of the same plant as Winchester powders in FL. IMR powders are made in Canada. Most of the Ramshot powders are made in Belgium. Alliant is made in Switzerland and Sweden. Norma is Made in Sweden. VV is in Finland and owned by Nammo out of Norway. Shooters World is from Czech Republic. Vectan is French. Lot-to-lot consistency regarding powder is a MAJOR concern in the market both from a liability perspective as well as customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Powder manufacturers who've been in business a long time have many multiple legacy lots of powder with which they blend brand new lots in order to maintain long-term QC. [/QUOTE]
