4,000,000 a day? That's 1.46 billion a year produced only by CCI. Where's all the .22? Not in many stores. What are y'all s conspiracy theories?
Cool video though, thanks for posting.

This has been repeated in every relevant sub forum repeatedly. But to sum up:
thats less than 3 million bricks per year if they operate 365 days a year.

Do you think there is more than 3 million .22 shooters in the states? If there were, that's only 1 brick a year.
There is also Remington, wincherster, Aguila, Federal
If they all make a similar amount, we are now up to 15 million bricks a year.

1 brick / year for 15 million shooters.

I don't know about you, but I shoot more than one brick per year.
No conspiracy, just demand.

Interesting video... Thanks for posting.

I always wondered how they make rimfire ammo. It seems like they should be more expensive since the process is not simple and not completely automated. Thanks for the post OP.
