Be cool to test this

Things are truly fucked if .22 LR is out of stock.

I want some beef Jerky

I own a 1912 version of the 1892, 44-40 Winchester rifle. I inherited it from my late grandfather and it's really fun to shoot. However, finding ammo for it is a down right pain. If you can find it at all it's usually really old, or really expensive, or both. Shooting for fun, safely, is great but if it cost a $1a bullet it gets expensive quick. If I'm lucky I can get it for $.40 a bullet but still more than I want to spend for some fun. And before you comment I know there are more exotic or expensive ammo out there but I don't need those to shoot my gun so it's not a real comparison. I do have empathy for people that do though even if my sympathy is a bit lacking.
