And I’m keeping it....:o)

Joking aside .... where in the hell “is” all the .22 long rifle ammo at ?

Questions:

What was the production capacity of 22LR in 2007?

What is the production capacity in 2016?

How much was produced in those and the intervening years?

How much did the gov't buy in those years?

How much was exported in those years?

According to industry spokesmen it started in 2009 when soetoro got selected.Lots of people bought.22s because they're cheap and easy to shoot.

Also lots of non-gun people had Granpa's .22 in the closet.

At the time you could buy 1000 rds for about $25 and every body started stocking up on it.

Hey, it's no .308 but you can put somebody down at 200 yds.

It's not worth it for them to invest in new tooling for a demand that will eventually bottom out.

Supply is now starting to catch up with demand.
