Yes, it is no longer cheap and easy to go plinking.



Costs me $2.50/box of 50 for .38, .45. .41 and .44 a bit more due to
powder cost.


Yabbut, those aren't .22 for quick/simple/light/cheap.
.45 does more than "plink", don'tcha know?


And, it takes me about an hour to load 400 rounds.


Yes, and it cost you a grand to get set up to be able to do that. The
press, dies, brass, brass tools, bullets, powder, primers, etc. If I
shot a lot, it would be worth it, but I still can't find .22 for a
reasonable price and I can't figure it out. I heard that some guys
are buying up 10k case lots, but who knows where to find those and
finance 'em.


Its actually cheaper around here to shoot handloaded 45s than buy 22s
