I love shooting my S&W 15 .22 I want to start with that. But after countless miles looking for .22 Lr I am hanging up my S&W I can't afford to keep searching for ammo. I have a range that would rival Hancock.45's I enjoy my Glock 23 at the same time. After todays range time I noticed I had 100 Federal game shok left.. that's all .40 for the Glock I have been fortunate to find a couple of hundred rounds, This is my carry gun so I just need to stay sharp with it. I can't afford to buy the $100.00 a brick .22 at LGS ( that has lost my business) for gouging and I hope he suffers I spent $12,000 there last year, and won't be back. I was at Cabelas today and Sheels People are walking around like Zombies wondering "why there is no Ammo" I shake my head and come to realize the uninformed Voter is now being affected. Will they finally understand what they have done, I doub't it.. Get ready my friends.. I will fight for our rights with my last 100 rounds

I have stopped in a number of stores selling gun related stuff and noticed the typical zombies. They actually walk like movie zombies and stare at empty shelves. I shudder to think of the carnage should a clerk try to load a shelf.

Seriously, spend your down time writting, calling politicians to put an end to this crap. Talk to friends, attend gatherings.
This is not going to fix itself.

Bugging politicians is good.  Always a fun endeavor.

While reloading 22LR isn't something I'd suggest... getting into reloading is also great fun.  It too can be a bit hard at the moment (presses/components/parts can be hard to find at times)... but... still great all around ;)

It IS great fun. After an absence of nearly 50 years I re-entered the reloading arena with a Lee 50th Anniversary Loader.   I was able to find 500 9mm FJRN's a month ago.  I found 500 empty casings two months ago.    I did order 8 lbs of Titegroup about a copule months ago, but MidWay called on another order I had made before the Titegroup and said they canceled it. A couple weeks ago I found a pound of Herco powder, and I have 4 pounds of HP-38 coming.   Two weeks ago I saw one box of CCI Small Pistol Primer MAGNUM misplaced (hidden?) on the shelves of Sheels, but wasn't sure it would work for my 9mm Luger Nano, so I didn't get it.  I wish I had bought it.  When I got home and checked I found that all  I had to do to use it was lighten  the powder load a couple 10ths  of a grain. :(

So, I am still waiting for a brick or more of CCI#500. When I get that I'll be able to reload 500  rounds.

Go pick up a reloading manual.

Right now.

Don't put it off.

I'd suggest one of (or all of in my case heh): Hornady, Speer, Lee.

If you're going to go shopping near reloading supplies, take the book with you.  Make sure your name is in it just in case ppl throw up a fuss.  Many stores also have an opened copy of the book(s) as well and you can look in them.

As far as reducing powder charge vs magnum primers... I'd start far lower than a couple 10th's of a grain myself.  All kinds of physics and mechanics change when using a magnum primer instead of a standard one.
