Chuck up a chamber brush in your drill motor for problem free steel case shooting...
Might be the faster solution?
The first time through I read this as (paraphrasing) "I'm going to lube steel cased ammo if ever use it". After a couple more reads, I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean, but just to be sure I'm going to say it. . .
Don't lube ammo, of any type.
In case you were referring to lubing your rifle, which I believe you were, carry on. A wet rifle is a happy rifle.
So far I've had no problem with LaRue, CMMG, BCM, Fail-Zero, Daniel Defense, KAC and Noveske.

Agreed.
OP: I had a 6920 with close to 20K of steel cased ammo shot through it, and yours should be fine. I've shot (spread over 5 ARs) maybe 60K of wolf, +12K of brown bear and 5K of golden tiger (both lacquered) to date, including several 3 day carbine courses and only clean at the 4 or 5K mark, but the bcg, bolt and chamber are generously lubed. You might have a cleaning rod available on standby in case of a stuck case...not that a stuck case is steel ammo specific since I've had stuck brass cases as well, but it is a good idea.

Ah, yes, the "steel ammo is horrible" myth.
If anything, your barrel may wear out a bit sooner shooting steel case ammo, but the amount of money you are going to save shooting steel case over brass will more than pay for a new barrel, or two, or three, assuming you actually shoot that much ammo to begin with.
MAC has good dope on this.
Watch the video and read the discussion under it, good stuff.

Putting a chamber brush on a rod section and chucking it in a Drill is as wrong as dogs and cats fuc*ing! (See, its PC now so the .mil can carry on thanks to me!) That is NOT doing the throat of your rifling any favors. That is a .mil stupid stunt I first witnessed in Basic Training. One of which I did not partake.
A patch soaked in Shooters Choice and letting it sit a couple hours will get any residue, including residue from Steel Cased ammo, you need to get out of the chamber...out of the chamber.
At MOST, I can see spinning it a few times by hand but it has been so long since I have needed to use a chamber brush it's unreal.

My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.
Patches and brushes are for wimps.
I just drink a few strong cups of coffee and then an hour later pee it all down the chamber/barrel and call it a day.
