As the title suggests I am looking to duplicate the common 22lr with a center fire cartridge. 22 is the only thing my wife is willing to shoot and i am sick and tired of not finding any 22 anywhere, showing up to a walmart or gun store just in time to over here an employee telling someone how they sold the last box an hour ago. Its dumb that 22 was scarce in the first place, and its even more ridiculous that over a year after Sandy Hook we can find plenty of 223, but 22lr is still a myth. I am fed up with this nonsense and I am moving on.
I want some suggestions. I want to find a cartridge that fits the bill and a firearm that will do it justice. Ideally it should a have a small case capacity, as I am not looking for speed or heavy bullets. I want it in a rifle. Preferably bolt action. The easier it is to load the better. i am not married to the idea of it being 22 caliber but I want the bullets to be cheap, and small. ( I have a 40 grain and 60 grain .224 mould for casting) I want a pound of Powder to load a couple thousand rounds at minimum. A Straight walled cartridge would be nice so I can use carbide dies. Thinking of using a pistol powder. I will leave it at that for now, please send you thoughts my way.
