surbat6 - I had to chuckle at your post about shooting BP maybe being cheaper that a conversion and .22s. I'm not laughing at you . . . I'm laughing at myself! I bought a nice little Ruger Bearcat (used) this summer and about had a heart attack when I went to buy .22 cartridges! Trust me . . . it's been a long time since I bought any and when the guy told me it was roughly $45 a "brick" of 500 I nearly fell over! He finally showed me a special he had on Winchester .22 that were loose in a box of 333 for $15.95 more or less. When I was a kid, they were a heck of a lot cheaper for sure . . . but then . . . that's been about 50 years ago too! I guess it costs more now to be a kid? Like anything else, the price of things only goes one way.
