Hi shiwarlock,

Thank you for your response. I thought that was DigitalDan's original post: how to make cheap 22lr alternative from centerfire.

Use to be able to get hornady 55 gr sp w/c for about 6.5 cents/piece, primers for 3 cents/piece, powder for about 3 cents/round, exclude price of brass like OP did and get cost of around 12.5 cents/round or about the price of CCI mini mag hp 100pack, or at least the good old day prices.

Cool thread. The above recipe was what I was thinking of for centerfire 22lr alternative.
