Of course, I'm not just loading. I'm also casting. I'll cast up 1000 rounds of bullets when I have a chance, and then save them for the dark of winter.

I've got an upcoming small 9mm project upcoming, and then I'm switching over to .223 Rem.






I'm with the shaman on this. 9mm is easy to load, and inexpensive. You can load if for about the same price as .22LR costs, if you cast your own bullets. All you buy is powder and primers, right? Cheap enough.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
