I guess it is no surprise that some folks will simply tell you to use your 223 or 30-06. The practicality of such is tremendous. Then again, what do you learn and how does that sustain one's appetite for loonyism? Like casting bullets or handloading itself, a lot of the fun is in the process. If you can already shoot reasonably well, it really makes little fiscal sense to handload since a mere handful of cartridges are going to last a long, long time in bringing home the bacon. (Practice with your 22s, for Pete's sake, if practice you must!) That reminds me, I need to get to work making prepping cases for my 22-7.62x39 PPC Ruger Mini-22/30 Rifle. The thing is far superior to the Mini-14.
