New to AR platform and new to m4carbine forum. I have an Eagle M 14 and wondering if there is any negatives with firing steel casing rounds as opposed to brass?

The casing doesn't matter. If the bullet is bi-metal, it'll wear harder on the barrel. But the wear is negligible when compared to the cost of barrel replacement vs. dollar savings on ammo.

A brass case will obturate (expand against the chamber walls) when fired, sealing the chamber from expanding gases that propel the bullet. A steel case doesn't do this, so the chamber will foul more quickly.
Call me skeptical, but I doubt that your Eagle M15 has a BCG with a quality extractor spring assembly. Steel case ammo might make for some good malfunction clearance practice.

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