I think shooting preferences change over time. It's okay. Most people change and change again. But I found that you should keep those 22's even if you aren't shooting them now, because the wind may blow from a different direction and it may be hard to re-buy what you have unless it is just a 10/22 or so.

My shooting is driven by my perception of cost, value, and purpose. Of course I get more of a thrill out of shooting a 357 mag over a 22 handgun. But the costs add up rapidly with centerfire ammuniton.
