Harry, we weren't talking about makes and functions when I mentioned
Dillon and Custer. Your question was about 'styles' of weapons. You
bought a 6 shooter pistol - they carried them too.
And that ammo is more expensive than a current military caliber ammo.

So what? .22LR is half the price or less than of .223, and you can get
1000 bb's for six bucks or so. There's almost always something cheaper.
You can get an adapter that will let you shoot .22rf in your .223

I also see adapters that let you shoot .32acp in your 7.62/30 cal
rifle but there is not much financial reason to do so.

I just went cheap to start with when I bought my .22rf machine gun.
(Ruger 10-22)
It was also a great investment
I have two 10-22's. My original and a "Distributor Exclusive" that is
stainless with a laminated wood stock. I also bought a Charger when
they discontinued them. It's an odd firearm but fun to shoot. It's a
cut-down 10-22 with a nice stock and a factory bipod that uses the same
magazines as the carbine. I put a Leupold pistol scope on it and it's a
blast at the range. It's something I will keep forever and pass down.
