I'v never shot the steel case stuff... any problems with sticking rounds due to the coating?
I've never had any issues with the polymer coated wolf in an AR.

Great information on steel VS brass ammo http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/
That may be the best steel vs. brass article that I have ever read!
Here is my math: 10,000 rounds of Federal XM193 if you bought it at Academy is $4995. Ad tax, and that's $5434.31.
10,000 rounds of Tula $2995(it's what is on the shelf at Academy right now, and although it the carbine used to test it failed, it was not the ammo. the remainder of the 10,000 rounds tested were fired in two other rifles with a total of 6 malfunctions)
After tax that is $3258.41. Now ad an average barrel (How about a cold hammer forged from Spikes?) $290. Ad $20 for shipping. That's $3568.41. Even if you bought two barrels, it is only $3878.41.
That is a difference of $1555.90, if I got TWO barrels.
For $1555.90, and considering I have about $575 in my basic AR, I could almost have THREE MORE RIFLES, or two more with change, or one pricey one, or gas, or a few house payments, etc, etc, etc.....
picked up a bunch of the Monarch stuff... I'll be going back for a bunch more... thanks for the tip.We buy cheap steel cased stuff. $6 a box of 20.

That's 33 cents per round, after taxes.
