    I wonder what this does to extractors and chambers.
    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    Please don't start this internet bullshit lie again , if your chamber or extractor was affected by a steel case they would turn to mush just from cycling the bolt .

    After what Wolf 45ACP did to one of my 1911 pistols, I'm NEVER putting steel cased ammo into anything other than my Kalashnikov and SKS rifles (which are MADE for steel case).

    Sorry, but what you call a "bullshit lie" in in fact the honest truth.

    Steel cased pistol ammo beats the hell out of the breech face (wanna see photos of my almost destroyed M1911 that thank goodness a gunsmith was able to salvage?)

    Steel cased 5.56 wears out AR extractors. I know that some people choose to pay a few $$$ to replace a worn extractor rather than hundreds of $$$ for brass cased ammo (and that's their right), but don't say it's bullshit because it's NOT. Unless you retrofit your AR bolt with a hard chrome plated extractor, the steel case WILL wear the extractor edge round and render it useless in 500 rounds or less.

    Steel cased ammo RUINS firearms not designed for it, and a simple web search will prove this (if you don't believe my personal experience with steel cased crap).

    Don't think you want to find out (unless you have a few firearms that you want to get rid of).
