This is taken from the Hammer Bullet forum. From a dealer perspective, higher cost is higher cost, PERIOD. So all Hammer bullets held in stock will be sold at the regular price and not replaced anytime soon. Keep in mind replacement stock would be 16% greater than the prices currently published.
“The US imports 53% of the copper used here. The alloy that we use is not produced in the US. To my knowledge there are only three foundries in the world that produce this alloy. Only one will produce it to the specifications that we need. If it were produced in the US, we would buy it here, regardless of price. We try to source everything we use from the US and as little as possible from China. Including the equipment we use for production. Which is also not made in the US. Not purchasing from China greatly reduces the options of manufactures of Swiss screw machines. Ours are produced in South Korea.
The tariff increases our cost for raw material by 50%. In order to maintain our profit margin this results in a 15% increase in retail price. We decided to not increase the price of the bullets but to add a surcharge that can be taken away if the tariff ends. This to me is the most transparent way to handle this issue.”
