17, 20, 22cal projectiles run at $0.35-$0.50 each, plus primer and powder as long as you don't value you time into it.

Compare with .22WMR at about 30 cent a round if you buy a large brick, and out to 100m its still the winner.

@Cordite Where can you buy 22WMR that cheap from, I'd consider buying on if you can get ammo for $15 a box. Hell I've spent that much on 22lr ammo before

My apologies, looked up the dealer again to give you a link, but I now realise I mistook a 500 brick for a 1000 brick when in the shop. Was not wearing my glasses )-8}

If cost is a real obstacle, and it certainly looks like it compared to .22LR, here is one option... amazing what you can sell as long as you label it "For When SHTF"
