good thing for the holidays, im broke already and cant buy it.... oh well, one less thing for the wife to say.... lol

I'm off the Tula for awhile, after more than a few Herters/Tula bad 7.62x39 rounds

great deal...

Sold out

So what is the story with steel Ammo?  Is this stuff bad for your guns?  I understand you can't reload it, but if I don' care about that is it worth buying to save money or should it be avoided????

I have never had any malfunctions or premature wear from shooting it. Its love or hate thing, some people its perfect, others have issues...

I have issues with it, its SOLD OUT !!!!!!  Damn it !

thats literally the only issue ive had. I shoot steel case A LOT .223/9mm/7.62x39 ....wolf/herters/tula other cheap stuff

 

NO PROBLEMS YET...just good cheap practice (knocked on wood)

 

no i  dont find it more dirty internally and no i dont have malfunctions from using it. NO you shouldnt be a queen about steel case it is a choice. Use it or don't use it

 

.......Its a cartridge......shoot it dammit lol

 

Somewhere on here there was a great link comparing steel and brass case but i believe it was strictly .223

I'm on the fence about whether I want to try steel case 9mm in my SR9 but the vast majority of the .223 I own is Tula/Wolf steel, and although I've only fired a few hundred rounds, every one has gone bang and extracted properly from my S&W rifle.

 

If you do try it, buy a small quantity first to see if there are any feeding/extraction problems with your particular gun.  Some can be picky and either bind up in the magazine, FTE, etc...

that sounds like a good idea...testing it first cant hurt

I pretty much use steel case stuff exclusively, zero issues.  Its cheap, it goes bang, its fun, my various range toys eat the stuff like candy.  Now I do know some folks that absolutely refuse to use it in any of their high $$ toys.  Ehh.. to each their own.

Hahaha good one lol... I've fired steel on my 1911 45acp and no complaints.  I'm assuming same with the 9mm.

I agree with Frank. ^^^

Steel case is fine, I shot it out of an SKS, The only brass I ever got for that thing was the Yugo milsurp. I think have some 9mm Herters/Tula that I haven't had issues with. But I had a couple popped primers, FTFs, and two FTFs with stuck bullets (easily got out, luckily) & powder all over the place with the most recent bunch of Herters I got in x39 a few months ago. YMMV

QC over there mighta went out da winder in the rush to get higher priced ammo into the hands of yankee gun nuts.
