Rising Materials Costs Induce Vista Outdoors Ammunition Price Increases

In a bit of disappointing news towards the end of this year, shooters can expect another set of rising ammunition and reloading component costs. Announced via a press release by Vista Outdoors, the umbrella of ammunition brands that the company has within its profile will see a set of ammunition and reloading component price increases in order to offset the rising cost of materials. Furthermore, Vista Outdoors announced that no new primer orders will be accepted until further notice due to such high demand.

Nice going Mr Potato Head. Can't help but wonder where prices will be at the end of Brandon's last term.

Uhm... so if you placed an order 2 months ago at let's say $100, and it ships out April 1st, it's going to go up to potentially $112 unless you cancel it.
Good to see they are allowed to bait-and-switch customers unilaterally.
