Cheap range plinking?

[rci2950]

What are you all using for your cheap plinkers? I shoot 9mm, .40 and .45 and would like to feed some cheap stuff preferrably to the 9mm pistols i shoot regularly but would like to be able to feed the others as well. I have been using winchester white box and S&B. I usually buy whatever is the cheapest when i go to the shop. My requirements are not high. I shoot for enjoyment not competition. If i am putting the bullets in the right place on the Fig 11 target then i am happy. So what are you all putting down range?

.22 is what I shoot. Buy a 9mm that has a .22 conversion kit.

Reloads. I'm making 9mm for about 15 cents/rd.

Your costs might be a tad higher, I'm still working with components I bought a few years back, but even at today's prices, reloading is the way to go.

Good suggestion! I did a cost benefit analysis (lol) years ago and figured running 22 for my rifles and pistol made the most sense. For 22 plinking I can get rounds for 5-6 cents, on sale, from sponsors like SFRC. 22 rounds still go bang, make holes in targets and shatter clays and you can shoot for hours for$35/525 rounds!
