I suspect that...as personal ammunition stockpiling has increased, there has been a corresponding contraction in the demand for "exotic" chambered ammo. Why buy 30-30 of 35 Rem when you can use 30-06 or 308 to do everything 30-30 and 35 Rem can do...plus have a range of far beyond 100-200 yards? Am I going to buy 17HMR...or 22LR? Well...22LR is a hell of alot cheaper and while it doesn't go as far or as fast...it gets the job done for rabbit or squirrel.What used to be common hunting calibers like .30-30 and .35 Remington are double the cost of say five years ago, $2.00 a round for the premium stuff. Maybe it just a change in taste as 6.5 Creedmoor is everywhere.
I know the major manufactures are only making .35 Remington about every three years now and .30-30 every two years. .35 Rem. is sold out in most places now.
My go-to for factory ammo.
