They also have 7.62 x39 ammo, 20 for $9.99 IN STOCK - NEW Brass 7.62x39 124 Gr FMJ Norma - QTY 20 - Super Bowl Weekend Sale! | Ammo Shop Online if you need that kind.
Exactly my point. I can't use "being in stock" as the reason for paying anymore.
Amcahr in McDonough has 22lr. 223. 762x39. 9mm. 380.
Stoddards Douglasville finally got .380 in and their shelves are looking pretty full again. 9mm was $29 with tax for 50 rounds. Not terrible.
As far as steel cased ammo tearing a gun to pieces - Ruger did have a line in the Mini 30 manual warning against the use of steel cased ammo, or at least they used to. It MAY be true that steel is rougher on firing pins, extractors, and ejectors, but it would take far more rounds than most people shoot to pose a real problem, and those parts are easily replaceable at minimal cost. I've shot thousands and thousands of rounds and never had a problem. I do clean and inspect regularly, particularly the extractors. The only firearms I do not shoot steel in are USGI surplus M1 Carbines - a lot of folks do and there have been reports of broken or chipped extractors, but most of these old guns have already fired countless thousands of rounds already and some have worn parts, parts that are gradually becoming less available and more expensive. Some have reported problems running steel in the FAL family of rifles - I don't own one and cannot speak with any experience in that situation.
I know guys on HRT/SWAT teams that run steel cased .223 through all kinds of full auto ARs and HKs suppressed and standard with no problems so far, and they shoot a lot. The same with their issued Glocks.
Just maintain and inspect your weapons and maybe keep spare firing pins, extractors, and ejectors on hand. Of course, your mileage may vary.

There is not a person on Odt that will shoot enough to wear a rifle out from steel cased ammo.
I'd disagree with that. I could name a few, myself if included that would need to rebuild a rifle sooner if running steel case, considering I already have to do that while only running brass as is.
But I do believe myself and a few others are the exception not the rule.
