Contact Barnes or Remington.
Why would he contact Remington? I plainly stated in my earlier post on this thread that Remington has nothing to do with Barnes--because Remington, as an entire entity, declared bankruptcy in 2019, and the various parts of what used to be Remington were sold at auction in 2020. Ok ok contact Winchester then gees no need to get all grandpa grumpy on us..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Or maybe too many of the components are sourced outside of USA to legally be termed Made in USA. That's why Leupolds are no longer Made in America. Which Leupold is no longer made in USA? Or, more accurately, designed, machined, and assembled in the USA? Leupold scopes are made in America. There was a Redfield model of scope that was not made in America. Binoculars, rangefinders and spotting scopes are not made in America, except maybe the Gold Ring spotting scope. Made in USA and Assembled in USA have different legal meanings when it comes to selling products. If Leupolds that are labeled Assembled in USA met the requirements for Made in USA, you can be certain it would be stated that way. There's plenty on the Internet to read about the differences between made and assembled. Could be the same thing with Barnes ammo. Or it could be nothing at all but a misplaced sticker.

Reply back from Barnes after I sent them an E-mail asking where their bullets are made:
Yes it is all made here in Mona UT.

Bugger,
I think most on this thread assumed Barnes bullets are still being made in Utah--and I already knew that.. The OP's question was about where the ammo's made.

This is what I sent:
There's a discussion on 24hourcampfire on where your bullets etc. is made. Is it all in Utah?
Thanks
I should have said bullets and ammo rather than bullets etc.
Bugger
I'll send a reply asking ammo in particular.

I emailed and asked specifically about ammo production since that was my original question, not reloading components. Here is the response a just received from Ryan:

Most of the brass we use is Lapua or Norma and because that is not made in the USA we cannot use the Made in USA.

Apparently NOWHERE these days. Can't find squat!

Why don't you take a piece of your own advice and learn how to read before you throw your sucker in the dirt and stomp off toward home and mommy......................Might keep you from looking like a dumb arse yourself in the future!!
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging

Just like I said, and what a few had trouble comprehending. Could be the powder they use too.

I've only had their .223 and .243 ammo so can't speak extensively, but neither of those looked like Lapua.

Thank you for the response Ryan.
The son of a good friend of mine works at Barnes in Utah. As of this fall he mentioned the ammo production was in the Utah plant, but I do recall him mentioning a few years back that some of the ammo was being made elsewhere, but maybe that has changed. He also mentioned that the ammo couldn't be labeled "Made In The USA" because some components came from foreign suppliers. I just assumed it was the powder they were using that was made outside the US but apparently the brass is too.

Because it’s garbage. :-) More to the point, Not Made In China........... Although I would prefer all handloading components and ammo be made in the USA, I don't have a problem with the Swedes and Scandinavians as suppliers.
