Federal and CCI are owned by the same company, Vista Outdoors.

They are the big players in the ammo market.

You also have Winchester and Remington, with Aguila (Mexico) aggressively looking to capture more of the U.S. market.

Thanks for the confirmation on what I suspected in that CCI and Federal are part of the same parent company. That was certainly why we saw those two lines of products together during the shortage. It was just wierd that no other brands ever showed up during that time.

Now BiMart isn’t a big chain store like Walmart, so where did Winchester and Remington .22lr ammo get dustributed to during that time? Maybe they were producing it for the feds big orders?

Also saw a lot of Hornady Personal Defense products in centerfire and Blazer brass. I think Blazer is part if the Federal/CCI group, but Hornady?

Thanks
