I calculate I can cast and load light .38 Special cheaper than CCI .22LR prices here

I enjoy casting and loading for my guns. I also have some 22LR that I could use, but find difficult and expensive to replace right now. I consider it a blessing to be able to continue to hunt and train my grandkids in marksmanship and safe gun handling with rounds that I produce for comparable cost to the 22LR that I would prefer to use. I haven't calculated to the tenth of a cent whether my cast reloads are cheaper or more expensive than the 22LR, because it doesn't really matter. I can't get 22LR right now. If the apparent trend of 22LR becoming more abundant and cheaper continues, I may have to consider switching back to store bought ammo. Until that time, I'm happy to be able to continue shooting; even if it turns out that it costs a penny or two more per round. Aren't we all fortunate to have a hobby that allows such freedom?

You recall correctly, Sir.
I bought a sleeve of it in 2002 when I bought my Browning Nomad. I was smiling and happy at saving a buck a sleeve over the cost of Winchester Wildcats, until I realized it was 6 of one, but not half a dozen of the other. I still have that sleeve somewhere, partially depleted.

Yep. Got excited over nothing. Oh well. I guess its been so long since I really shopped for 22lr that I forgot.

You may be correct but I don't ever recall that being the case.

Me neither
