I have all ways had a 22 revolver or auto of some kind and used it just like everyone else on this thread. Back in the bad old Sandyhook days when 22 ammo got damn scarce and expensive I had plenty because I knew it would happen. I picked up a SW M10-8 heavy barrel in 38 SPL and was shooting it a lot. 158 gr swc cast out of that 2 ton pile of lead out in the polebarn that came from collecting it over the last 30 years +. More than a few years a go I bought 18k of cci sp primers at $8 per K, I knew I'd use them but my gunshow buds thought I was crazy and when I bought that 10 lb case of HP-38 for $50 they knew I was. 3.7 grs per load and 70,000 grs on hand. One mans trash is another man's treasure, way I figure it as I've all ways had buds ask me why I'll pick up someone else's empties they left on the ground. So then came the day a bud saw that Smith on my counter and asked about it? I said it was my new 22, my ass he says that's a 38 Spl. I said to him when is the last time you bought 22 ammo for 3-4 cts a rd? Well he says it's been a long time a go. I said well that is what my 38 ammo runs me and it's half as cheap as 22 rimfires so it's my new 22. Time is mine and I don't spend it watching libtards on TV I load ammo ,cast bullets and other worthwhile activites f**k tv. 38 kills everything as good as any 22. Try it. MB
