So cheap ammo means bad ammo in this case

I did not realize when I bought it that it was steel cased ammo which I avoid using, I did however notice that it was shooting extremely dirty and then I started getting bad sparks so I field stripped my gun and looked down the barrel and I couldn’t believe how fouled it had gotten. I’ve had about 300-500 rounds since the last time I really cleaned the gun but I’ve done a couple quick wipes but this ammo is trash.

Welcome to the community! That looks really fouled up. I, too, avoid steel casings and use either Sig or Federal ammo.

I’ve used wolf brass plated steel cases ammo. Never had that problem. I feel failure to feed but that’s about it.

Ummmmmmm,…. I’ve run 500+ rounds through a .22rimfire and never seen a bore that trashed!

That (if a real picture) looks like it spent a long time underwater!

Welcome aboard. I noticed a very large muzzle flash when using these rounds. As for the barrel, I keep a cleaning kit in my range bag and after field stripping I cleaned the barrels. They were dirty, but I don’t think that bad.
