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've only recently started hand loading and only for handguns. So you guys are way more advance than I.
However these shortages have me contemplating the load I list above as an alternative to 22lr. I thought the Obama years were bad, afraid to think what the Biden years will be!
