Why reload if you "shoot little"?

I tend to agree but back in the olden days people reloaded because
there was not much in high performance ammo loaded commercially. Now
that is not really an issue in the popular calibers.
You can still load a performance cartridge for about 50 cents less
than a commercially loaded one.
It still might make sense in rifle calibers too.

Other than that, reloading is a way to shoot relatively cheap if your
time is worth less to you than your money and you don't mind cast
bullets.

Keep in mind that 'when I started shooting', for someone with Krause's knowledge and experience, was
probably about 45 years ago. Ammo was a bit cheaper then.

A box of .38 or .45 was around $6.95 in the late 60s, early 70s when I
was shooting a lot. That was the retail price. I got a much better
deal at the distributor in Lanham when I was buying a pallet of
shotgun shells for the skeet league but I needed to buy a case.
I split a case of .45 a few times. I seem to remember that was 20
boxes.
The real deal was .22rf by the case (20 bricks). They were less than a
penny a round. We split a case between 4 of us and I bet some of the
guys still have some ;-)

This thing came in the mail a couple weeks back. Got it for a grandson soon, I hope, to make Eagle
Scout. Plan to get it engraved, appropriately, when he does so.

Haven't been successful getting any .22lr for it at my local WalMart, but there's no big rush.

The way it works here is that you have to make friends with the
manager of the ammo department. If he's so inclined, he can tell you
when the next shipment is going to be brought out and what is in it.
At our local store that is typically 7:00 AM on Thursdays. Guys
start lining up about 5:30 or so and most of the ammo is sold right
off the cart before it gets to the shelf.

Hoarding ammo is one way to solve the problem, voting republican is
another

Surely you wouldn't call the accumulation of a measly 5000 rounds 'hoarding'!

As it was all purchased long before you right-wing trashmeisters began
hoarding, it wasn't and isn't hoarding. I paid less than $5 for a box of
100 rounds. I see them selling for $20 to $30 for the same box. I'll be
glad to sell a few boxes to you at, say, $50 a box.

If you buy ammo by the case every shipment is 5,000 rounds in 22lr.
That's about 6 months for me.

I saw it for about .12/round. Are you getting a much better deal than that? If so, where?

I shoot mostly Wolf Match Target, currently about .21/round. 22lr at
..12 is a very good price these days.

I don't think so... it's a couple of weekends and a day or two of
