22 lr can be reloaded...I would not have believed it until I ran into some today at an outdoor store/bait shop in Grayson Kentucky a few miles North of Grayson Lake, the bullets were $7.50 for 50/ $15 per hundred. The brass was new and unstruck Just bulk piled in little bait containers. I declined to buy them at time because the clerk didn't know the velocity or bullet weight but they looked like they could be match grade, very clean. I would only guess folks can get the supplies to make their own...[/QUOTE]

I'd put money down that they were repackaged bulk ammo. If they were truly "reloaded" there would be some mark from the firing pin. It would be nearly impossible to remove entirely.
