its mostly a meme, the fact that it shoots out your barrel after like 25 rounds that is.
while a copper washed mild steel bullet will wear your barrel slightly faster than a copper jacketed lead bullet (~10000 rounds vs ~12000 rounds at both extremes) the money saved from shooting steel vs brass can buy you another barrel or 3. also the extractor thing is just a meme.

>~$800 difference give or take

i'm not the guy you're responding to, but why should 223 remans be avoided?

This is all you need to read, and it's a link that should be stickied.

i would agree about the remans.
the only remans i take a chance on is black hills, but i rarely buy or shoot it anymore anyway.

another issue with steel to keep in mind is alternating between steel and brass casings can cause issues. steel is less form fitting after firing so the chamber gets dirtier. switching to brass after shooting steel can cause stuck brass casings.

It doesn't wear out your barrel any faster since the projectile is the same thing. The harder casing is a tad more taxing on parts like your extractor and ejector but the money you save on ammo can buy those a dozen times over the life of a barrel.

though there was a thread where someone figured out Tula and Wolf are made in the same plant?

Wolf is a distributor. They source their ammunition from several manufacturers. The Wolf Gold .223 is made by a Taiwanese military contract producer for the US gov and is closer in spec to M193 with it's sealed bullet, primer, and crimped primer pocket. It's pretty hot for a .223REM.
>source: i buy that shit straight from Wolf.
People love that shit for good reason.
