[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2182519, member: 18710"] After working in a factory for years and learning about manufacturing methods I can tell you that if a factory can't sell enough of one product to run that product year round they make plans to run that product part of the year. If the demand goes up across the entire product line they will run more hours and hire more people. They then are in a demand situation and all products are needed. Even if they do change overs and still run all of their products they will tend to run the more profitable products more. It is all about money. The prices will go up for all products and with the factories running full speed the unit cost will go down and the company will make more profit. I would guess that the profit margin on 22 ammo is small and the ammo makers make more money on other calibres. That would be a reason for .22 shortages as they would run less .22 and more higher profit ammo. [/QUOTE]
