Outdoor Channel went to CCI in Idaho to show how .22LR ammo is made. They make 4 million rounds a day. Sounds like a lot. But when you see that one pallet is only 250k rounds, then that means  they only make 16 pallets a day. It isn’t that much when you start thinking of how stores are supplied across the country. A 1/4 pallet in one store, another pallet in a bigger store. It starts to add up fast. And then the demand is so high that people are still buying 22LR just to flip it and sell it so supply dwindles. But we all know this. All we can do is wait it out and hopefully demand will decrease as supply goes up.
