    Brass is super slick. Polymer coated steel...not so much. Oil the rounds (no your gun won't blow up) and extraction and feeding will be smoother.

    There is nothing wrong with steel case ammo. However, the powders used by TULA create pressure curves that don't necessarily peak at the best time to operate varying AR gas systems.

    Steel case ammo has always been GTG in my Colts, Glocks, and 1911s. Most weapons shoot it just fine and without issue. I like
    to shoot steel cased stuff when I use all my contract ammo up. I like to watch people get all worked about steel case ammo"it'll scratch your barrel".

    I actually considered doing this as a 1 time re-use.

    Any issues involved?

    I've never had any, either with the reloading or shooting. Case prep is slightly different and I do have to watch for rust in the stuff that doesn't get shot quickly, but I rarely see any.

    Of course, if you listen to popular internet wisdom, I've destroyed both my rifle and my reloading dies all ready.

    Strangely, both continue to do their designed jobs quite well.

    Thanks.

    I wet tumble, so rust might be a real issue for me, even if I oven dry.

    I'm not worried about wearing things out (real or perceived). I assume all things to be consumable will heavy use, so I don't get wrapped up over it if/when it happens. My rifles see an 80/20 diet of steel ammo and seem to manage.

    I don't reload, so take this for what it is, but some folks on TOS have reloaded steel cases. No concerns that I read about, however.

    If you're interested, I've been saving some cases (scrap metal is scrap metal, right?). I could send you a hundred for testing if you want.

    I appreciate the offer, thank you. I do have a bunch already, so I may try out a few for fun.

    I don't really NEED to do it, but if a guy could load decently accurate ammo with throw away cases it would make lost brass events more enjoyable.
