Comes down to people showing up for work. They are so busy filling orders with what personnel they have, pulling someone off the line for a tour group would back things up. And they do want their customers orders filled ASAP. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Starline is owned by Sierra Bullets, and just across the street from them. They too stopped the tours I'm sure for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 3 hours ago, The Original Lumpy Gritz said: Just wish they still had the factory tours. 'Bout twenty years ago a couple of pards and I took our young teenage sons pheasant hunting at some club up in Butte County. We came out of the field early afternoon, and after cleaning our birds I suggested a side trip to Oroville ~ home of RCBS. Grand idea, all agreed! So, about an hour or so later, we walked in the front door and were greeted by a nice lady behind a counter or desk or some such furnishing: "Can I help you gentlemen?" "Why, we hope so! We're here for the tour!" She gaped at us for a moment, then stammered, "but we haven't done factory tours since back in the nineteen eighties!" and suggested that we settle for a visit to Huntington's Sporting Goods, right next door. Well, we were disappointed about no more RCBS factory tour, but Huntington's was terrific! Founded by Fred Hungtington, who also started RCBS, it was extremely well stocked with hunting and reloading supplies (especially RCBS!), in a museum-like setting. The place was full of hunting trophies and mounts, many of which were Fred's. Very cool indeed! That visit was definitely an acceptable consolation prize. Sadly, though, Huntington's is now gone... closed late summer of '23. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They too stopped the tours I'm sure for the same reason. Starline Brass is a family owned business. It was originally founded by people connected with Sierra Bullets but at no time has it been owned by Sierra Bullets. Sierra Bullets is currently owned by JDH Capital. They also own Barnes Bullets.
