I've recently begun thinking of getting a .22 semi-auto pistol. The purpose of that would be to be able to shoot a lot of rounds at the range for not a lot of money. And that could be fun...
The *real* fun in shooting for me, however, is in shooting my P345. I just can't get enough of it, and the more I shoot it, the more I LOVE it! But as you well know, it doesn't take long to burn up a $50 bill when you're sending lots of .45 lead downrange.
I realize that there are lots of factors involved, how you would save money by buying reloading components in large quantities, or by waiting till you caught these components reduced in price when "on sale", and so forth. But has anyone out there tried to figure out just how cheaply you can load .45 ACP rounds? Since I love shooting the .45, I'm wondering whether the best plan is to abandon thoughts of buying a .22, and instead, pitch my tent in the handloading camp so as to keep shooting my .45? Your wisdom/suggestions/insight is appreciated!
