Have to wait for the investigation but we would probably not hear anything further...

Hard to say from the article.  No indication on how extensive plant damage was or even if there was any.  In a metal foundry you can have a pretty significant accident in human terms without really affecting production capacity.

I am not sure where Starline sources their brass cups they draw into cartridges.  I would imagine as big as they are they don't single source, but maybe.  And, since Olin Brass is no longer aligned exclusively with the firearms industry I would likewise expect others to not be single sourcing raw materials.
