Dear ATK Ammunition Customer:

Over the last two years the cost of manufacturing and shipping ammunition products has
continued to escalate to unprecedented levels. These cost changes require ATK to announce
a 15% price increase for all ammunition brands and a 25% increase on select .223
promotional ammunition.

This new pricing will take effect September 1, 2007, on all new orders and all existing orders
that have not yet shipped. New pricing and programs will be sent shortly.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation throughout this process.

Respectfully,

Anthony A. Acitelli
Vice President of Sales & Marketing
ATK Civil Ammunition and Related Products

ATK owns Federal, CCI, Speer, ect.
Look for the other ammo manufacturers to make similar statements soon.
