I agree bronko that something doesn't make sense. And its not just remington. Stock should be starting to flow back into stores more than it is, imo. I've been looking for some .50 cal speer handgun bullets for my .54 ML, out of stock for the past 2 mos. No way people are buying up every .50 cal handgun bullet.
FWIW, I like remington. All the guns I have are excellent, and the components I've used have always been good.
