Blue Star Cartridge and Brass in Searcy, Arkansas used to have empty, primed .22 LR for sale, but sadly they are no longer in business. I saw them with my own eyes a few years back, and asked about them. They said that lots of target shooters loaded their own. miles


I remember seeing them years & years ago, too. I also remember thinking 'why would anyone want to reload .22 lr, they're only $.75 a box'. Wish I had bought a trainload, at that price.


A number of years ago (okay, 35 years ago) Uberti made a few 1866 replicas in .44 rimfire. Dad and I discussed how we'd load ammo for one. The phrase "fulminate of mercury" came up and we decided that some things are best consigned to history...
