I have heard in the early 1900s, you could order a rimfire reloading kit from a Montgomery Ward catalog.
Well, 100 years later, we are back to the future...you can now reload your 22 ammo:

I did realize immediately that someone would say that you CAN reload 22LR. Yes, it IS possible. Or should I say "Yes, it is POSSIBLE?" There have been several iterations of reloading components for 22LR, but... sad to say.... none have been truly viable, or reliable. In a SHTF scenario, having a kit that allows reloading of 22LR is certainly a good thing, as long as you have the chemicals to mix, the acetone to add, and the ability to cast your own bullets. Then... maybe you can roll your own. But... and it's a big but... will they be reliable. Those kits that have been on the market for years have been said to be "less than reliable." The attached article is an excellent read, describes the dillemma well. And so... I posit... stock up on 22LR. It's easier to buy it now, than make it later.
