People say that like 556 is cheap. Of course the other rounds are more expensive but 556 is still what? $0.35 per round or soOriginally Posted by HCM

starting to think you really dislike 5.56
Ha!starting to think you really dislike 5.56
No way. I said early it is pretty good with 77gr bullets. I just think its funny when it is refered to as more economical. I mean yes...it is cheaper but it is not cheap.
Perhaps I don't get it as im not someone taking carbine classes 10x a year. I did that stuff in my military daze. Maybe im just over it?
I dont know but I do appreciate this being a very reasonable discussion for a gun forum.
Maybe im just too tactical. Probably not.
No BUIS? That will get you killed on da streetz yo!

That is quite literally what "more economical" means

Yes and I said as much...but it doesnt mean "cheap" which is how it is used.That is quite literally what "more economical" means
Ive got etymology on lock!
Oh that isn't me but I am looking at that can.
Ive got flip up magpul steel sights...which operators do not approve of as the 1/2 second to flip them up with get me killed in them IDPA streets. Death while wearing a fishing vest.
True, and 6.5 G is getting cheaper all the time. Or more economical....
But the only real reason 5.56 won't do everything for me is the occasional elk or black bear, and I already have a rifle for that. Weighed against daily costs and ammo availability it just doesn't make sense. If I started reaching out more it would. I do like the idea of having one rifle.
Similar conversation going on on a 300 Blackout FB page.
It is all about context. I cannot tell someone in the back country in Alaska that 300 Blackout is the best all around caliber. Of course it would not be for him.
I don't think the 300 Blackout is a fad but I don't think it is going to make any other rounds obsolete.
We live in a pretty awesome time when it comes to a wide range of guns and calibers being readily available and relatively affoedable.
I get reasonable amounts of 62 grain .223 at work for free. can't get cheaper than that.
