I don't have a cucked one but I really like mine. I've only really used one kind of ammo, Just plain cheap lead bullets, and have had very few malfunctions which is pretty good for .22s.

As far as .223 being $1 a round it was ~.16 a week ago for steel cased. You should still be able to find fancy stuff for .35-.50 a round, Which isn't a bad price for what you're getting but you don't need that for plinking obviously.

I used to have a Steven's model 200 in .308 and it would jam anytime I shot anything other than brass through it. Russian Amma was guaranteed Jam.

I've only shot brass before. Will steel jam or is it fine? Do you have a recommendation of where to buy steel .223? If I can pick it up for .16 a round, I would seriously consider getting a 223.

The only real disadvantage I know of is some people claim steel will wear your chamber out faster but the money you save from buying steel over brass would buy you multiple barrels. Besides that I don't think there's any other disadvantages to it as long as you don't plan on reloading.

I would keep checking ammoseek https://ammoseek.com/ammo/223-remington and it looks like sgammo.com might start selling again the middle of this week.

I would probably wait a couple weeks just to see what happens with ammo prices. A lot of the online stores aren't even selling right now because they're so far behind.

.223 for a dollar a shot? How does that happen?

What do you mean? From what I've observed a lot of the cheaper .223 ammo is sold out. Maybe you know of somewhere cheap? I love the idea of being able to take 300 shots for about 15 bucks (22LR).

Oh yeah I forgot about the price gouging. No, you're right and it's a decent choice I rented one at the range a few times, not the ca version but I'm sure it's the same. My brother has the .223 version and it's a workhorse. How's .22 looking out there?

I bought my wife one to plink in the back yard. I shoot it tons. It is a bitch to load. I bought a loader. Never had one issue or misfire. A friend has one he's had for a while. Neither is CA compliant. But 12 to 15k rounds between the 2. Never had a misfire.

That's good to know. I hear about misfires a lot.

Put one of those bang bang triggers and tune it, you can dump a mag in seconds

If you are going .22 you might as well get the Ruger 10/22. Save getting an AR for when you are getting an actual AR.

Something tells me you shoot a cracked our dindu with a .22 and all you’ll do is make him mad

Build your own, both rifle and ammo.

You say you're in California. DON'T end up on a list.

Skip the .22 and instead get an AR pattern rifle chambered in a pistol caliber round like .45 or 9mm. Best of both worlds. Cheaper ammo costs but still effective as a personal or home defense weapon.
