I don't shoot it in anything but rifles it was designed for. (Ak pattern, chineese,etc)
If it is solely a economic issue do a analysis of cost per round, of both steel case , and brass case boxer primed, reflecting barrel wear, as well as brass recycling costs.
You may find that you will get your .06 back on the brass case, selling/recycling and get twice the barrel life, the results could be diffrent, or less dramatic.
So either a I shoot steel case because its cheap, and I can accept the wear on the gun as a trade off.
Or I shoot brass and pick up cases to offset the costs, and barrel life is twice as long.
(Yes barrels are a wear item, anywhere between $100-$350)
But a well thought out video
