This crossed my mind also. The market is saturated with bullet companies. However there’s other jacketed/plated bullet companies doing well and not closing up shop. So I dunnoI think since the advent of coated bullets their sales have decreased.
Never heard of Brixtel Defense.Nature abhors a vacuum:

I guess I should have said there are other jacketed/plated bullet companies that are still in business. I don’t know their finances.Define doing well.
Are they doing well enough to be able to invest $16M and get a good return?
$16M is the asking price. The actual sale is likely to be several $M lower.Define doing well.

This is not necessarily a business failure. It could be that the owners find the prospect of living off the investment returns from the sale more appealing than working.Sitting on thousands of bullets from them. They had the best prices I could find back in the day. Too bad they could not weather the storm…
Yeah they’ve been around for awhile so the owners may be up there in age and want to cash out?This is not necessarily a business failure. It could be that the owners find the prospect of living off the investment returns from the sale more appealing than working.
Still. Let's call it $10M.$16M is the asking price. The actual sale is likely to be several $M lower.
I haven't checked in quite some time as in recent years it seemed they were always oosI bought some of their products years ago. They made a good plinking product for a fair price.
I checked their website to see what's for sale and didn't see anything in stock. So it feels like they are shut down now.
This has only been since covid. Prior to that I never had any trouble buying their bullets. They make a great pistol bullet at a very good price for a jacketed bullet. I tried a lot of coated bullets during covid, but don’t care for them. Now I’ll need to start looking for another bullet supplier unless they start producing again under new ownership.They always seem to be low on inventory or not have sufficient quantity of product. It was always the case where you needed to logon early in the morning and try to NAB whatever was there. Perhaps they needed to recapitalize or expand and the owners just wanted to cash out instead of reinvesting More money into capital improvements. Hard to say.
I used to reload their 44 cal bullets but it’s probably been almost 10 years since they had them in stock. Now I use Zero bullets.This has only been since covid.

Yeah, I shot a lot of Zero’s back when I was shooting a lot of 45acp. That was a while ago. Whenever I was looking, the MG’s were cheaper than Zero, so that’s what I got. I don’t remember if I ever found quality jacketed bullets cheaper than MG.I used to reload their 44 cal bullets but it’s probably been almost 10 years since they had them in stock.

Not sure which caliber you’re reloading but Zero makes bullets in all the common pistol calibers.
