I hate when that happens, I do that to myself almost every year.

Steel is bad for all guns, don't you know that. What kind of goodies you got?

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Steel is bad for your guns? I've never had anyone say that to me. Then again I don't really sell ammo.

I have had enough issues with steel case ammo to not use it anymore. It will scare up the chamber on you gun.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I've been told that steel is bad for your chamber, extractor, etc for years, and never had any problem with it. However, I prefer brass because I reload it.

Maybe in a Jennings or other junk gun... there is no way mild steel is going to harm hardened steel....

I'm headed back up to the new house in Oaklandon to help offload a car full of junk of the girlfriend's stuff. Talk to yall when I get back.

Just not true. My SIL ran it in his AR.....constantly stuck casings and eventually messed up the chamber. Saw it with my own 2 peepers. Rare case... but I had to put a reamer in the chamber to get it back into spec. He rums brass now and no more issues.

They think that steel ammo will damage their extractor since steel is harder than brass.But from what I heard the steel used to make the extractor is much harder than the steel used in the ammo so it's not the case.

One of the issues that some experience with steel is it's lack of expansion (in comparison to brass). When you fire a brass cased round, it expands and actually seals the chamber. Then it retracts and ejects easily. When steel is fired, it doesn't expand allowing powder residue to be forced into the chamber. This can cause the steel case to become tighter in the chamber, making it difficult for some guns to extract. It's not a common issue, and personally, I wouldn't think twice about shooting steel cased ammo, unless I had a specific gun that's had trouble with it.
