It is fundamentally a problem of allocating brass. Fedzilla has placed such huge orders for asap delivery that the brass is allocated to 9mm and 40 cal production lines, not 22lr. When the price stabilizes at around $40 to $50 per 333 rounds the supply of 22lr will magically appear again.
“Fedzilla has placed such huge orders for asap delivery”
The same size order that they have placed in the past, which caused no shortage, and they are not for “asap delivery”, but spaced out over periods of years, with delivery not even guaranteed.
