I just bought a couple of boxes of 150-grain Barnes 30-06 ammo with Norma headstamps. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I the last one to get a clue?
thanks,
Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Don't have the components to reload for 45-70 so I bought the only ones I could find. Barnes, box had Starline brass.. Guess they use what they can find.

Barnes has sourced brass from where-ever they've had to. Still, they have the same owners as Remington and you can expect that to be the default state.
Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.

Sierra owns the rights to Barnes Ammo and bullets Yep. I bought some Sierra 9mm the other day that is loaded in GFI brass. I guess the guys next door were sold out.

Sierra owns Barnes ammo/bullets.
Federal owns Remington ammunition.
Remington firearms are owned by yet another company.

Remington firearms are owned by yet another company. This^^^ Probably the biggest beneficiary of Remington’s bankruptcy was Sierra. They bought a well run, established, bullet and ammo manufacturer—cheap. Let’s hope Sierra doesn’t screw it up…..

Remington firearms are owned by yet another company. And Parkwest got the real business assets of Dakota Arms. Another entity got the Dakota Arms name.

I wouldn’t be upset with Norma brass at all.

Federal owns Remington ammunition. Wrong. Vista Outdoors owns Remington Ammunition. They are also the parent company of CCI, Speer, Federal and many other outdoor brands:

And the Vista CEO resigned as earnings missed.
Make some effing PRIMERS!!!!!
Ok mini rant over...
ETA: How in the heck can you miss earnings bad enough to resign, when you have a product that you literally can't keep on the shelf, and can practically name your price on said product. SMH

SMH Looks like he was asked to resign. Also, Vista is splitting into two separate companies soon. One that will be ammo and components, the other will be their outdoor products. I was told about this last year from a Remington employee, surprised it hasn’t already happened.
