    The most comprehensive test I've seen. Extractors wear faster grabbing steel rims, too.

    That was interesting and educational. Thanks!

    In my Glocks or other pistols, I'd run Wolf if I had to. In my ARs? No, because knowing me, I'd forget to clean the chamber before I switched back to brass ammo.

    ETA: Rereading, that sentence made no sense.

    Where did you find this info? In the old days Eagle marked lowers were sold as a lower only while complete rifles were marked Armalite.

    How is your trigger being effected by steel case ammunition?

    Maybe I'm just a simpleton but I shoot steel and brass and aluminum and zinc and never do anything in between. No cleaning before switching, no adding lubricant, no rain dance. Been doing this since the late 90s. None of my firearms seem to know the difference

    I went to Armalite's website and looked at all their models, then read the accompanying description.

    I only shoot ammo in steel or brass cases. Sausage goes in a casing.

    Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. But I don't shoot steel cased ammo so I guess I wouldn't know.....
