That's what occurred to me when looking into this, even at inflated prices it was worth the difference -to me anyway. I suppose one of those kits might be handy if NO ammo at all was available at any price but so far it's not reached that point. One of the things I was thinking when I said those guys were oversimplifying the process is they way they present these kits as "economical" by saying they can be reloaded for $8 to $15 per brick, they fail to consider just how much hassle it's going to be repeating that process 500 times just to get that $8 to $15 brick! Each one of those things is going to be a heck of a lot more involved than reloading, for example 357 mag or 45 auto or any number of other rounds, and when multiplied by 500 times then the time and effort involved makes that $40 brick look pretty cheap! And then when we consider all this is going to be for a RF round of questionable reliability and probably corrosive it starts to make a lot of sense for why these kits have not been popular despite the plight of 22 LR these days!

After taking a good look at those kits and trying to be realistic it became apparent they have a good sales pitch playing on peoples' fears of not being able to buy 22 ammo, that sales pitch is laced with misleading hype (just flat out false in the case with those matches!) and completely avoids the obvious flaws they don't want people to think about before sending their money.

Since the empty cases are no longer available, I guess I wont be taking this route anytime soon. I'll toss the mold in with others, and maybe address this sometime in the future.

I contacted previously several ammo vendors for primed empty case ... No, legal liability.  ArmsCor told me - send a check for $50,000 and I'd get the cases!

Great reading! Can the nail driving cartridges be used as donor cases?
