Just to get the record straight:
Completely different equipment is used for 22LR than center fire cartridges, zero interchange of capacity between the two types of ammunition...
As for the USG buying up billions...fact is in spite of what FOX new reported... it was a 5 year buy... the same 200-220 million rounds the USG agencies have been buying for years...it was bundled to save money, 5 years of ammo in one purchase. Sorry to burst your bubble with facts.
Lead is lead, brass is brass, primer chemicals are primer chemicals, gun powder is gun powder, a stamp press is a stamp press, and labor is labor regardless of the bullet produced. They are all used in a factory that produces rounds.
