If I wanted to sell it I could make out very well, it's staying here.

I knew I had it absolutely made in the shade 10, maybe 12 years ago. Damn near a truck container of ammo at yesteryear's prices. Then my kids discoveredthat what Daddy was doing(shooting), was fun. Now I fear for my shooting future. .....I still have .45 ball ammo at $4.45 a box of 50!

Otherwise I pick up a box or two at a time from my local range.

I buy slowly now too. In between trips to SC if I buy a box here, a box there, I break even when my kids shoot. I shoot almost exclusively .45 for self defense practice, kinda dropped off plinking(.22) the last few years. I hafta get back. I smell videos on the horizon!

Hey Joe, not specifically reloading, but a very interesting video on the manufacture of .22's. CCI produces 4 million rounds a day

This is what I used to get at Walmart. It was cheaper than the Federal Champion Value Pack and not as consistent. Before the "troubles" I was competing in weekly and monthly rimfire steel matches, going through up to 500 rounds a week. My Kimber conversion slide ran fine with the Federal Champion Value Pack (from Midway) but not with the Walmart Value Pack.
