Dry firing should be un-related to ammo supply. I don't care if you have 10 cases or 10 bullets, dry firing is critical to good marksmanship.

I totally agree about the laser sights in dry firing. That red dot bouncing around the taget tells you what you are doing wrong or right.

"Shoot More 22": Good luck with that. 22 is harder to find the loaded ammo and components.

Good article, but I'd add to the "reloading" part using cast bullets.

I can shoot 38s dern near as cheap as I can 22s (back when you could find 22s).
