where have all the 7.62 shorts gone?

Shortage of 7.62 X 39 ammo
Whats up with this?
It's getting difficult to find this round . And the prices are crazy. The cheap mil spec stuff from the former soviet block and China are getting difficult to find.
The home grown stuff is getting tough to find and pricey. Found some Remmington UMC for 10.99 in one shop but they were out of stock. Found it in another store for 16.99 for twenty rounds...and they only had 4 boxes. This is way over priced.
What gives? I've heard everything from protectionist trade policies to protect the home industry against the off shore cheap stuff too a claim that the iraqi police are snapping it all up for their AK47's.
Hope to order 2000 rounds tomorrow from out of province, one of the last dealers who appears to have any surplus ammo in bulk in Canukistan.
Are the days of cheap plinking over?
