There are certainly small cartridges that will do the trick but I had a severe case of the loony virus. 😁

That said, the .22 GTC cost is very low. My calculations are based on costs pre shortage, but figure about 4 cents/round. .03 of that is primer cost. Figures to be about $2/box of 50. Now if I get around to it and start reusing spent primers, who knows? 😵

Cast bullets are cheap when they weigh 40 gr. The only brass I’ve lost failed due to primer pocket expansion with certain primer/load combos. Apparently 1,300 FPS is a bit too crisp.


I am..........disturbed.
