Couldn't tell ya, but I don't think so.
But, in my 'warped" way of thinking, I liken .22LR to Pennies.
Both useful but what's the cost of making a .22 as compared to a .45 or .357, ect? Just as the .GOV is wanting to get rid of the Penny because it's cost too much to make just one. [it cost 2.45 cents to make one Penny ($0.01) ....

Plus, like Pennies, how many .22LR do you have sitting around in your safe or where ever you keep you ammo? Open any kitchen "everything drawer" and I'm sure you'll find some Pennies in there. Walk down the street and I'm sure you'll see one or two or three just laying on the ground. Now I'm not saying that you'll find .22LR laying on the ground or in your "everything drawer", but you do buy .22 in "BLOCKS". Blocks of 200, 300, 400, or 500, or more, right? You don't use it all in one setting and if you're out and about and stop by your local gun store and see a block of .22 sitting there, you might just pick it up. You keep doing this and the next thing you know you start a thread on PS.com ....
