maybe some day in the really realy distant future... but I think there are enough handloaders that have been buying lifetime supplys of reloading components, the the 22 theory won't hold up...
& what's to say "they" won't screw with 22 ammo in the distant future ??? can't hardly buy it now, & it's not reloadable...
not that I don't like a good 22 rifle, but I'll keep my centerfires thanks
