Hornady Suspension update?

[Peace]

So Hornady suspended a lot of ammo production back in July.  Part of that was the .223 75gr TAP ammunition.

 

so far... no changes.   I also noticed that the SSA product line in .223/5.56 has all but disappeared.  They show that they are manufacturing only a 77gr OTM.

 

I have no need for complex (and far-fetched) conspiracy theories.  I am baffled by this.  Nosler bought SSA back in the summer, so maybe these they have a strategy for the company that involves reducing .223/5.56 production (?)...  Hornady though - Hornady laying down on the job has a stench to it.  (critical duty handgun ammo has been popping up everywhere... profit margin better in handgun ammo?)

They are producing what sells the best. The TAP ammo probably doesn't sell as well for the price point. People buy the crap out of the 55 gr Vmax/Zmax though. If I were a bullet / ammo manufacturer I wouldn't keep a line open making 75gr BTHP if the 55gr SP or FMJ's are selling 5-1 over them

Didn't SSA get bought out by Hornady or someone else?
