There are also a lot of companies importing European target .22lr ammo. Most people aren't going to pay premium prices for bulk pack ammo when premium ammo is available for the same cost.

Back in the old days people would just plink...nowadays you have these people running around with M&P 15-22s or 10/22s with BX-25s shooting through a brick or more every time they go out shooting. Factor that in with the hoarders, preppers, and gun show re-sellers....it's easy to see why the supply has been so dry.
