The industry may have the CAPACITY to produce 4.2 billion rounds per year but that does not mean they do it. <br /><br />When demand for the higher calibers is great (and we know where a lot of that is going) the .22 lines sit idle while workers turn out .9 mil. <br /><br />You need to know a little about manufacturing in order to understand what's going on with ammunition.
