Retailers and distributors are seeing and receiving small shipments of CCI and Federal 22LR ammo but nobody that I know of is seeing any from Winchester or Remington. Why is that the 2 leading suppliers of 22LR ammo are not making an appearance on dealers shelves and in distributors warehouses? I hate to suggest that a conspiracy between these 2 manufacturers exists in regards to supplying 22LR ammo to the market, but the absence of this ammo in the market place surely fosters such a belief. Why can Federal and CCI make a somewhat reasonable effort to make and ship 22LR ammo but Remington and Winchester can't?
