I never said you could not shoot cheap ammo my question to you is if you are going to carry a 22LR for self defense purposes why not rely on more reliable ammo like lapua and so on (I know you will never carry 22lr). Nobody says you can't practice and plink with cheap ammo I do it all the time. One box of prime ammo used only to load your EDC firearm for SD will only cost around $15 give or take a couple of dollars and you only use that ammo for SD. If you are lucky it will last you a lifetime, I believe one's life is worth at least $15. If you are unlucky it won't matter much what you carry either rimfire or centerfire with a 50 round magazine.1) What's the point of owning a .22 LR if you can't shoot cheap ammo in that firearm. If I am going to pay the same price for the ammo as I would for center-fire caliber ammo, I will get a center-fire firearm
2) the 5.7 fn cartridge is a center-fire cartridge. Do you really expect that a jihadi terrorist would count on a rimfire to carry out his murders?
