I just converted a H&R SB1 to 7.62x25, 90gr bullet over 4gr of Unique, costs about $0.11/rd. Want a semiauto??? 92gr 258242 over 4.5gr Bullseye or Red Dot, or 6gr of Unique in the 9mm. Runs my pistols or my Ruger PC Carbine, and costs about $0.11/rd tops.
Sure, you're not going to get old school 22LR pricing of $0.04. But when primers are costing on average 0.08-0.10 per primer, spending 0.10-0.15/rd isn't bad at all.
