Jack mainly because American companies have gotten way too proud of their ammo. I remember the days of reasonable green and yellow box remington, white box winchester, yellow box UMC, and red and blue boxed federal. Now they want to sell range and plinking quality ammo for premium ammo priced and they want to sell premium ammo for prices that were once reserved for safari grade custom ammo.
If I am headed to the range to relax and blow off some steam and I have a choice between russian ammo for $6 per 20 or American ammo for $19.95 per 20 I am buying russian ammo. The change I will use to buy reloading supplies to make more American made ammo with at home. If the choice was $6 russian or $8 American ammo I would go American from the shelf, but that ain't the choice.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
