[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 2475250, member: 6777"] The shortage is the lead for bullets. Since Obama and the EPA shut down the last lead smelter the scrap lead has to be hauled to Mexico and elsewhere, melted, refined, made into lead wire for swaging and ingots for casting, then re-imported back into the US before the ammo companies can get their hands on it. Considerably raising the cost. The only reason your seeing any 22 ammo below about $35-40 a brick is because companies like Walmart, Bass pro, Cabela's etc CONTRACTED well in advance for ammo the manufacturers have yet to deliver. Once those contracts are over you will see the new prices and it may make you wish you bought some at $40 a brick [/QUOTE]
