Police seize one of 'biggest ever arsenal of firearms' in east London

I was under the impression the US ammunition shortages were caused by citizens buying huge stockpiles in case Obama acts against gun ownership. The US factories are working flat out, and we've had shortages of powder and ammunition here too.

Re: UK prices, a 500 round tin of decent "club" target 22LR can be had for £40, 50 round boxes of 22LR hollow point hover around £5-6, .17HMR is a lot more expensive at over £25 per 100. Assembled .308 is stupidly expensive, so are the components, decent heads are £25 per 100, I haven't added up the costs of powder, primers, cases etc..
