Charles,
Thank you for choosing to shoot Barnes Bullets. That is a bullet we still carry on our 2022 bullet/cartridge list. I just don’t see a date for next the run. As you can hopefully understand our industry is backlogged at unprecedented numbers. In the last 2 years over 12 million first time gun buyers were added to the mix. All those new guns need to be fed. We are setting new production records on a weekly, monthly and now, yearly basis. Our employees are getting lots of overtime as we are running our bullet and ammunition making presses 24/7. Lots of 10-12 hour shifts, with overtime, since January, 2021. Our scheduling process is sometimes very fluid if something happens with our raw material supply. Which means a product may suddenly end up on our production schedule sooner than expected. Several things you can do. The best advice I can give is to 1) have lots of persistence and patience 2) check in to our online store to check availability.

These first steps take about 1 minute per day. Last, get yourself on email waiting lists with several, if not more, online retailers such as Graf & Sons, MidwayUSA, Midsouth or Natchez Shooters Supply as well as a host of others. Hope you find what you're looking for!
Oh, and visit some outdoor chat forums that have classified sections and post a listing where you WTB….”want to buy”. Someone might be able to help you out.
Thank You
