.22 LR ammo in my area is running between $20.00 to $30.00/500 rd brick. Thats .04 to .06 cents per round. Since I have primers squirreled away, I can shoot 38 spl for almost 2/3 of the price of the cheaper 22 LR. I could rebuild primers as discussed in another thread, and it would be even cheaper. This is crazy!
