223 ammo, so if you fire 6000 rds a year of say, 14c a round cruddy 223, you probably need a new ($100) barrel, and you've spent $840 on ammo. the guy who fired 5000 rds of .22, and 1000 rds of Winchester bulkpack ball spent about $200. $900 will buy a whole BUNCH of .22 units, or one unit and a good 223 suppressor, to include the $200 tax.
22 \mmo's about 8x cheapern' cheapest

Firing 22 rimfire through your conversion unit is not a substitute for shooting full power 223 loads. Too many differences. If a person shoots a LOT, re-barreling expense is just something that we have to plan for.
Why do you worry about it since you can't legally shoot a firearm anyway.

It all depends on your budget, doesn’t it?
if they can afford it, then your point is moot. Some people have the means to purchase a great deal of ammo, shoot it, and still have enough disposable income to buy barrels, rifles, suppressors, and other items.
everyone has a different situation and they need to do what they feel is correct.

About 3X nowadays, but I'm not buying either one right now regardless. I actually threw in a 1,400-round Remington "bucket-o-bullets" with a 22 pistol I put out on consignment earlier this week.
