Why?

My thought process is unwaveringly linear and almost always falls back to the concept that the simplest solution to a problem is the best and that one should not live in a dumb place.

Growing up with the mantra of "buy it cheap and stack it deep" has resulted with no rimfire shortage around here, however replacing the current stock will be more expensive.

The going rate of .22 LR around here is around 10 to 15 cents a round which is a price point that is easy to match with either high quality 9mm or .38 reloads with cast bullets.

Guess what we shoot around here?

Again, the pipeline is full of fresh 5.56mm GI ball for around 35 cents a round.

Why spend your precious time reloading .22 rimfire when you have so many other options?

If one is tasked with the choice of reloading .22 rimfire or other options, the division seems clear to me.

FYI: My pump up .20 caliber Sheridan will do most of the jobs a .22 is assigned with no muss and no fuss.

Then again if local law limits access to ammunition, the only logical action is to move.
