1. There is cheap American made ammunition. Winchester is not the only American manufacturer of ammunition.
2. While plenty of idiots will choose cheap, many enthusiasts will avoid cheap ammunition at all costs, and for good measure. Cleaning weapons is already a pain in the ass; cleaning weapons after firing cheap ass rounds is ridiculous.
I am not aware of inexpensive centerfire American rifle ammunition in today's market. That is why people are willing to use the dirtier and less accurate Russian stuff for target shooting. You might see someone turning loose some surplus for two or three times the cost of Russian, but don't hold your breath for that. BTW, commie guns are made to use the commie ammo. They can shoot Western bullets, but there are problems. The flip side is that American guns were not designed to shoot commie bullets. Some of them will do it, but again, there are problems.
