Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire North Fork shutting down

I have seen it posted that the North Fork bullet company is shutting down. From the post their products are on closeout pricing. Another one bites the dust. Good bullets.

Not enough market for "boutique" bullets, but yes, outstanding bullets...

Just checked, I didn't see anything on closeout

Jorge -there's your next career. Buy the assets, and make them in limited numbers, keep your overhead low. Write off ALL of your hunting trips!

Kinda sad really.

America!

This is unfortunate. Although I never had the chance to try North Fork bullets, I read a lot of great things about them and I was looking forward to using them. If they really are closing down, I guess I won't get the chance. No point in trying them now if I won't be able to get more in the future.

I’ve never tried them. A lot of people use them.

I used North Fork bullets on two trips to Africa. They killed like the hammer of Thor. .375 300 grains killed everything from Impala to elephant. A solid penetrated both shoulders of a large Zambezi bull elephant. I recovered several softs from Impala and buffalo. They weighed 290 grains.

Also excellent customer service. This is bad news.

Is he taking investors??

He posted on Accurate Reloading about having a 20% discount on remaining inventory.

Bad attitude! Would you try this once even if you counldn't get more later???? Hmmm?

It's 30% off their remaining stock and was posted a week ago (22 Jul) by North Fork on AR's web site:

Post say's if it not listed on the web site they don't have it.


That being said, looks as if Shilo Sharps is being sold again also, things are changing!

That view point, like the not calling the next day never made much sense to me. Kind of like finding a nice convenient restaurant with good food and then never bothering to go again, always follow up enough to make sure you're welcome for at least a 2nd time.

Define once. Asking for a friend. Of course.

Dang....hate that. Best performing bullets I've ever shot on big, heavy, game. Just got my last box of 338, 225 grain bullets last month. Had no idea he was shutting it down. The current owner is the second owner of the company if I remember. Hell of a design....hope somebody picks it up.

Very well said.

I have never used their bullets but can't see them performing any better than the TXS's I do use, for less money.

I'd pork her.

North Fork is not shutting down. I bought company and start production again. So all of your that like this bullet and all of you that never tried but want to try. You will have the chance. In US and Canada market Reloading international will be my agent. Just keep a eye at Mikes webpage and you will soon see that you can start buy bullet again. It will take little time before im in full production but it will happen.
