‘Federal’ is still NOT CCI is it? Tell me it is not. I have every variety of that stuff and I know it. I have bunches of both.
IMO, CCI is the cleanest, best and most consistently reliable 22LR for guns that need consistency and repeatability - in my case handheld semi-auto pistols.
Top capacity and top capacity targeted for higher margin markets are two different things. There is an absolute reason by my Walmart can’t keep it in stock, and it is PRICE and what Walmart, through its large potential, doesn’t get the supply everywhere - only the places where customers are willing to pay a higher price.
It, CCI, is NOT readily available nor will it be if CCI makes this cut of production decision to maximize their sales. I know what is going on and it is just like the old 70s days of high credit card interest rates. They go used to high margins/profits and they’ll be damned if they give it up.
if CCI makes this cut of production decision to maximize their sales.
Where does it say, anywhere, that CCI is cutting production of .22 rimfire? It would be insane for them to do so, as other manufactures have ramped up production, and are eager to grab market share.
The logical thing for CCI to do is to keep on manufacturing all the .22 rimfire that they can, in order to meet demand. There is still lots of demand out there, and as you know, CCI is still not able to keep product on the shelves.
Cutting back production when you cannot meet current demand, at the price you are asking, would be truly insane.
