There's a variety of things around the internet. For me it just comes down to personal preference.

Is there any benefit to non free floated?

No

If you are just looking for blaster ammo, you can get Wolf for about $0.21rd

Link to 21cents/rd 223 ammo?

Oh. I thought you meant brass 223 for 21 cents/rd.

Which part of "Wolf" wasn't clear. There is no need to waste money on brass ammo for plinking and blasting at the range. Though I do realize some people think their ARs are too delicate for steel cased ammo.

Well, there's this: https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/wolf-gold-223-55-grain-fmj-500-rounds?a=1581232

Granted it's wolf gold, but still wolf. And I'm one of those that don't put steel through my guns, because I don't like random ammo related malfunctions, because I can afford brass, and because my range doesn't allow steel anyways.

The only time I have ever had a cartridge fail to go boom was with a BRASS Remington .45ACP round.

When you say Wolf to people 99.9% of them understand you are talking about steel and most don't even know Wolf makes brass cased ammo. Plus iirc Wolf Gold 5.56 is reboxed PMC.

Here is brass for $0.28rd

From what I found in the past with steel is the chamber gets dirtier, probably due to steel not expanding as much as brass, which can often lead to cartridges getting stuck. Now I don't mind cleaning, I just rather not have to while I'm shooting. With brass I never seem to have that problem, therefore I prefer brass.

I shoot brass so much I forgot steel ammo even existed. The malfunctions are one thing the dirtier shooting is a huge nuisance as well. Plenty of reasons to not shoot steel if you can afford brass.

Steel doesn’t expand nearly as much as brass does and allows all the crud to build up in the chamber. Most people who have problems with steel, can overcome them if they load a brass one every 7th or 8th round, and crush all the crap out of the chamber.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I would imagine for this to work, it's important you don't over lube the gun so the extra oil doesn't trap the gunk.

Depends on what you call over lube. I clean the chamber and barrel using an oil solvent, but after it sits and I run a bore snake a few times, I don't oil it again, but I do oil and grease the upper and lower areas quite well.

Steel cased ammo reminds me of 1967 The cause was a little different, but the result is the same.

I'll bite. What happened in 1967?

 

[ScS]

A lot good men died with jamed m16 because of dirty chambers from bad ammo.

 

[pronstar]

Yeah from what I gather, those early AR's used in battle weren't the beloved weapons they are today.

Don't think they were so different, the problem back then was our know all see all government decided to use power they had on hand and not the powder recommend for the 5.56. Fouled chambers and it puts you in a bad spot when your using a cleaning rod or a knife trying to clear stuck brass in a fight.
