Well, you got me with that statement. If the operating costs to produce 22 Mag and 22LR are the same, why does making more of one drive the cost down? If unit cost per round....electricity, wages, machine wear, rent, unemployment insurance, etc. are all the same, I can see a little more powder and a bit more brass being responsible for higher unit cost but not at the ratio it appears on the store shelf.
Economics was never my strong suit so I'm ready to learn.
