I don't see how anyone, except a millionaire, could afford to shoot factory ammo in CAS for very long.  ???

I dont have the time or the inclination at this point to reload.   Perhaps when I retire, assuming I am still in CAS, I will.   In the meantime, I will help ammo makers stay in business.   ;D

Second that Don. While not a millionaire by any stretch I would have a hard time squeezing the reloading time into my schedule. In the volume I shoot (I shot exactly six matches this year with my cowboy guns) Getting into reloading just doesn't seem like it would pay.

Actually Lash, reloading can pay for itself in as little as 500 rds. Many believe that they need a top of the line Dillon progressive when a single stage or a cheaper Lee progressive works just fine. I started out on a Lee hand tool kit years ago that was practically Stone Age in comparison. It's also the best way to "roll your own" bonafide BP rounds so you can appreciate these guns as they were meant to be shot & leave the smokeless powder for the Glock shooters.  ;D :D ;)

At $18 for a box of 500, the 22 LR match cartridges are a bargin.  CCI generally sells for $5 to $6 for 100 rounds.  IF their quality is good, those rounds will sell.
