It may have to do with a politcian from Chicago proposing a Five cent per round tax on ammo.That would mean bulk pack of 525 rounds 22LR could be over double its price.In my area 22LR costs $19.95 on average.A nickle a round times 525 is $26.25.Just the rumor could cause a run on certain ammo.More so if it can not be reloaded.So if you are from Illinois,that may be why.....
