Federal, CCI, Speer Ammunition Prices Will Significantly Increase On April 1

By Richard on March 26, 2008 2 Comments

ATK, the parent company of Federal Cartridge, CCI, and Speer, sent out a letter to its customers announcing a significant price increase that will take effect on April 1, 2008. As if ammunition has not gotten too expensive already, ATK is raising ammo prices between 5-9% on all of its lines.

I hope everyone has been planning for the continued price increases. I’ve been buying a few extra boxes of ammo where I can, because I know it isn’t going to get cheaper for a long time. Demands for raw materials by India and China, the continuing needs of our military, and the loss of value of the US dollar will ensure this is not the last price increase we will see. Nor will the increases be limited to ATK.


If you can afford to, I suggest picking up some ammo this week before the price increase. There are a lot of good ammunition vendors out there, including Midway USA, Cheaper Than Dirt, and Ammoman to name just a few.

Natchez Shooters Supplies sent me an e-mail with some of their pre-increase pricing. If you haven’t dealt with Natchez, it is a good outfit. Reasonable shipping charges and very competitive pricing. Right now Natchez is offering American Eagle (Federal) for 9mm $8.99/50 and .45 ACP $15.99/50, while the CCI Blazer is priced at 9mm $7.99/50 and .45 ACP $11.99/50.

Dear ATK Ammunition Customer:

Over the last two years and as we move into the second quarter of 2008 we continue to see unprecedented raw material cost escalation in our business. As a result we are forced to announce a price increase effective April 1, 2008. This will include a 9% increase in all promotional ammunition and a 5% increase in other standard catalog ammunition products.

New pricing and programs will be communicated to you shortly.

We appreciate your understanding.

Respectfully,

U.S. Concealed Carry Association: The Ultimate Resource for the Armed Citizen

By Richard on March 26, 2008 2 Comments

The U.S. Concealed Carry Association is an organization founded by Tim Schmidt to address the unique needs and concerns of law abiding U.S. citizens exercising their rights to carry a firearm for self defense.

The USCCA professes to be “the ultimate resource for the law-abiding, armed citizen.” With a library of articles on the website, an active member forum, a full color magazine, a weekly e-mail newsletter, and a store featuring training videos and more, the USCCA certainly goes a long way to back up that claim.

Part of your membership includes “Concealed Carry Magazine.” Concealed Carry Magazine is a full color, glossy magazine published by USCCA eight times each year. The magazine features product reviews, profiles of regular people who carry a concealed firearm, and plenty of practical training information. Unlike some of the newsstand gun magazines, the product reviews are honest, you can really relate to the people interviewed, and the tactics and training relate to the average citizen carrying a gun for self defense (not some tacti-cool SWAT tactics).


The website features an active member forum, which can be quite lively at times. Also on the site are member classified ads, informative articles, and a complete archive of all of the past Concealed Carry Magazine issues in PDF files.

The e-mail newsletter is also informative combining editorial pieces, product reviews, brief training tips, and other interesting information.

USCCA is a good organization for the armed citizen. I am a member and wholeheartedly recommend membership.
