Thread: why is .22LR ammo so expensive now?

I desperately needed some 22 hornet ammo, after ringing around I did find a shop with remmy at 135 for 50. Got a box of 20 fed at same time and don't ask the price. Make a man weep long n hard. A week later I pulled off the hiway just in case and struck gold, 50 rounds of winnie at 88 bucks. Five went home with me, my mate brought over 600 hammer projectiles so should be OK for the next month or three. Earlier paid 65 dollars for 22lr brick, 300 rounds.
