Is it to do with USA CV export limits or their factory shut downs ???

I'm not sure that helps very much. I haven't been able to find 25-303 for years.

i would assume we see the build of our ammo comes from the states opposed to europe especially the bigger brands, hornady, federial, winchester, cci, remington.

Bet winchester wished they keeped the factory in aussy that was making our 22 ammo

I think every 22lr owner wishes that, we still have that aussie stuff floating about in the UK due to our stupid ammunition limits (some poor buggers can only possess a hundred or two rounds each time, exceeding by one means license gone!).

Local dealer has a few cases of the stuff left at a fair price so I'm stocking up after payday.
