Empty retail shelves, long backorders, and exaggerated price increases on online auction sites \u2013 all fueled by rumors and conjecture \u2013 have amplified concerns about the availability of ammunition and firearms-related items.<\/p>\n<p>If the information you hear doesn\u2019t originate from Hornady Manufacturing, don\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of rumors we\u2019ve heard, and questions we\u2019ve received:<\/i><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>\n<p>    Have you stopped production, or has the government forced you to stop?<\/i><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n        Not at all.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n    Did you stop selling bullets so you could only make loaded ammunition?<\/i><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n        Absolutely not.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n    Since we can\u2019t find your product you must be selling it all to the government.<\/i><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n        Nope, less than 5% of our sales are to government entities.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n    Why can\u2019t you make more? Ramp up production? Turn on all the machines?<\/i><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><i><br \/>\n        We\u2019ve been steadily growing our production for a long time, especially the last five years. We\u2019ve 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 \u2013 please take a tour of the factory. You\u2019ll be amazed at what you see. <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>We appreciate everyone\u2019s understanding and patience. We don\u2019t know when the situation will improve, so please bear with us a little longer. And remember, when it comes to Hornady Manufacturing, if you don\u2019t hear it from us, please don\u2019t believe it.<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On some of the reloading lists that I subscribe to I&#8217;ve seen a lot of rumors about ammo and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2615,2905],"class_list":["post-2539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-ammo-shortage","tag-hornady"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2539"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8864,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2539\/revisions\/8864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
