I understand the concept of "profit".
I work in an industry where the machinery is no longer in existence in the US. I think that is so with rimfire ammo manufacture.
Ammo companies no longer build Stock. Notice limited runs of certain ammo and cases. 35 rem as an example.
Supply and demand.
Increase demand by limiting supply. And not having a stock/storage problem. Am I saying there is NO stock, not in the least. Am I saying that there is LESS stock, yes I am. Product in storage is not bringing in $Money$.
