April 8, 2008 

To:  All Winchester Ammunition Customers:

 As referenced in our March 24, 2008 letter outlining our intention to implement a mid year price increase, the following additional detail is provided to assist you in your business planning. 

Upon careful review of raw material costs and in order to remain competitive in the marketplace, only select product lines will necessitate increases. 

Price increases on the following product categories will apply to shipments beginning June 1, 2008. 

·        Low Base Lead Game Loads                                      8% to 10%

·        Promotional Lead Game & Target Loads                    8% to 12%

·        High Base Lead Game Loads                                      5% to 9%

·        Promotional Rimfire                                                   8% to 10%

·        USA Centerfire Pistol                                                 5%    

·        Component Brass, Bullets & Primers                          5%                                         

There may be some symbol specific exceptions to the percentage increases listed above. 

These are the only product categories being affected by this price increase. 

We are planning to issue price lists and programs prior to the end of April.

 

 


Notices that we have received regarding ammunition and component prices.

WINCHESTER AMMUNITION

June 29, 2007

TO: All Winchester Ammunition Customers

During the past several years our industry has experienced a dramatic escalation of raw

material costs used in the manufacture and transportation of ammunition. This trend

continues on several of the key ammunition manufacturing raw materials, particularly

lead. Additional price increases will be necessary to cover a portion of these

unprecedented costs.

We fully understand the complexity of implementing in-season price increases and

appreciate your cooperation. Due to continued escalating raw material costs, it will be

necessary for us to implement a price increase on all shipments of ammunition and

components within all trade channels. Projected increases as listed below will be

effective on all shipments beginning September 1, 2007:

Lead Shotshells 15%

Steel Shotshells 10%

Centerfire Rifle 15%

Centerfire Handgun 12%

Rimfire 15%

Component Bullets 10%

Component Shellcases, Primers and Wads 5%

Lead Shot Call for Quote

Winchester will issue revised price lists and programs with symbol level detail in the next

few weeks for your planning purposes. There may be some symbol specific exceptions

to the percentage increases listed above.

We appreciate your understanding of this difficult decision and your continued support of

Winchester Ammunition.

Sincerely,

 Sales and Marketing

 

 

(Note from FS: Remington is going up 15% in October and another 12% on January 1st !. Other manufacturers will most likely follow. On TV you hear that inflation is "tame". Apparently ammunition and components are not included in the CPI)


July 3, 2007   

To:  All Remington Ammunition Customers 

The unrelenting escalation in the global price of key metals - most notably lead – that are used in ammunition manufacture has forced us to make the difficult, but necessary, decision to once again pass along these unavoidable costs in the form of a 4th quarter price increase.

Effective with shipments commencing October 1, 2007, the following increases will be implemented for the product categories listed below and will apply to all channels of trade.

                                                                                                                                                  

  • All Promotional Shotshell Loads (including Shurshot)                             15.0% 
  • All Shotshell Target Loads                                                                                15.0% 
  • All Other Lead Shotshells                                                                                 10.0% 
  • All Promotional 22 Rimfire Ammunition                                                             15.0% 
  • All Other Rimfire Ammunition (including 22 Magnum & 17HMR)          10.0% 
  • All UMC P&R Ammunition                                                                                5.0% 
  • All UMC Rifle Ammunition                                                                               15.0% 
  • All Remington Brand Centerfire Ammunition (including Premier)                          5.0%  
  • Component Bullets                                                                                           10.0% 
  • All other Ammunition Components                                                                      5.0%   

 

In order to assist you with your business planning a revised package of Remington Ammunition Programs and Price Lists will be made available to you by July 16th.

 As further guidance, based on our current assessment of metals pricing for the reminder of 2007, we anticipate the need to implement an additional 12% across the board increase on all ammunition and components effective January 1, 2008. This projection could be impacted significantly by unforeseen swings in metals costs - either up or down – which would require us to reassess our outlook.     

We appreciate your understanding concerning the necessity of our decision and would like to thank you for your continued support of Remington Ammunition during these extraordinary times.

Dear ATK Ammunition Customer:

Over the last two years the cost of manufacturing and shipping ammunition products has

continued to escalate to unprecedented levels. These cost changes require ATK to announce

a 15% price increase for all ammunition brands and a 25% increase on select .223

promotional ammunition.

This new pricing will take effect September 1, 2007, on all new orders and all existing orders

that have not yet shipped. New pricing and programs will be sent shortly.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation throughout this process.

Respectfully,

ATK Civil Ammunition and Related Products
