You have that cheap steel ammo at $5 a box of 20 but nobody will let me shoot that stuff through their rifle.
I have seen a bunch of fellow members saying "everything but steel".
I have no idea who buys that stuff then and why it's that bad.

you can shoot steel outta my AR. not a big deal with me. just extra cleaning.

 

[Tydeeh22]

Finally home. Got 2 hours of OT.

So it just more dirty?
I heard there is also reliability issues but I will guess it depends on the gun you use.

According to some this steel ammo will either kill you or destroy your rifle, I just dont see how.

Steel is going to be harder on your ejector also. Personally, I'm sure steel cased would be fine in my gun but I'd prefer not to take the chance. If all you had was steel cased ammo with you and you wanted to shoot it, I'd let you. I'd rather be safe than sorry with brass, though.

your in the wrong field. I got 48 hours of OT on my last check

The cheapest brass cased stuff at Cabela's is $8.99. The same thing 3 months ago was $5.99 and sometimes $5.50. I'm just going to start buying larger quantities online to save some money.

It's just part time at a grocery store while I'm in school. I'll be job hunting this summer/fall.

But the steel used for the ammo must be much softer than the steel used for the ejector.
I dont think they use hardened steel for the ammo, well I dont know.

Im not going to use any steel ammo on someone else's gun if that could dammage it anyway.

[magic man]

With all the time I spend on INGO I could actually do something productive and make some ammo.
