thats exactly the reason.I bet part of the problem is that people used to go in and buy a box or two of 50 rounds, because it was always available - why buy more? Now that there has been a shortage for so long, every .22 owner now sees the need to stock a higher inventory than they used to in the past (never mind the massive number of new shooters). So the poor factories are faced with having to fill this gigantic demand, without increasing plants so much that when it is finally filled they are left with idle plants.
They offer a reasonable explanation in paragraph four of the article.I find it funny that imported 22lr seems more available than US production even though we have been told for the last 2-3 years they are running at full capacity 24/7. If that was true I would think seeing it in stores would be fairly regular by now if not normal again. Nothing like a story to start increasing production just before the 2016 elections.
What do I know though . . . .

The ammo is out there, it's the markup that makes it hard to buy!
This is the new reality. Why would the ammo companies sell it cheap to the retailer when they can get some of what folks are willing to buy?I seem to be able to buy all I want now if I feel like spending $40 a brick.
