[QUOTE="Capm_Spaulding, post: 2097629, member: 17977"] The casing isn't the problem so much as the bullet. GENERALLY, Brass cased ammo has higher quality bullets that are thicker jacketed in copper whereas most steel cased ammo has cheaper bullets with a thicker lead core and a thinner copper or copper alloy jacketing. Cheap steel cased ammo will lead to faster barrel wear, as well as dirtying up your upper more than brass. Those are the main things but along with faster extractor wear and the increased risk of FTF, I would stay away from it unless you have nothing else, then I would only use it in a cheap upper. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
