[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3337530, member: 27673"] Went to the range early this morning in the misting rain with my 5" stainless SA Mil-Spec 1911 and fired my normal 100 rounds at the 25 yd. gongs. Anyway, I noticed a lot of steel case Tula 45 ACP and 9mm casings on the ground (which is where I left them) and surprising as it may sound it got me to thinking. Not knowing for sure but it would seem to me that steel cases would be harder on the extractor than brass or alum cases and that steel cases wouldn't expand and fill the chamber properly like brass.......am I completely off base in my thinking ?
