[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 1842171, member: 86692"] According to the forum economist Tex_Hunter, I guess they won’t care if they earn a few customers back. Even though I obviously have unreal expectations and general ignorance of economics, I understand the marketing/profit margin idea, I understand the 100% out = 100% sold idea, so I’m not totally ignorant on it. And his comparison to a guy making one guitar a year is beyond ridiculous. I’m just saying that companies that have STAPLE products like Hodgdon’s H4350, Retumbo, Varget, H1000 should be better prepared for productivity increases for demand. It’s not like they’re a new company, this is a livelihood to them and not a hobby. Hodgdon has been selling these products for decades, and to assume that they could not see a future increase in demand for some of their products doesn’t really say much for their management imo. Especially after seeing the marketing that Hornady put into the 6.5 Creedmoor, and seeing that cartridge take off the way it has for the past 5+ years, you’d think the company that sells what many believe to be one of the best powders for it, would have means of product availability in line, no matter who is making it or where it is being made. I mean, nobody has problems finding bullets do they? Bullet manufacturers seem to have a pretty good idea on what is going on in the markets and they seem to be staying on top of things. People aren’t having problems obtaining Lapua bullets full of lead. I know when Berger moved their shop a few years ago, their stuff was hard to find, but they where back up and running pretty quick and had their products out on shelves again. I think bullet manufacturers have military contracts too. Whatever I guess. It is what it is. If their production back ordering is due to things like the fires in Australia, then really, that’s beyond anybody’s control and completely understandable. I guess I’ll just find something else that works and stock up like everybody else. 🤷🏼♂️ [/QUOTE]
