[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 481360, member: 15748"] That's apparently a special run for the navy, and a small one at that. Their standard load uses their (Lake City's; they make them on site) own M43 (Match) primer, not a Federal 210, and would be in a much larger quantity. 150K is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for their production capability. Last run of 175s I certified for their M118LR production was something on the order of 17 million bullets, all of them destined for that load. I'd bet this is for the Navy's team, or some other special usage involving bolt guns, just based on the use of the FC 210 primer. That, and the fact that they're specifying a particular powder. Lake City does take special orders like this for small runs, and I've seen them do it frequently. Specialty stuff for the Marines, for SOCOM, SEALs, etc.. Until ATK gives up the contract to another bidder, the RL-15 will most likely remain the powder of choice. [/QUOTE]
