Steel case VS. Brass case ammo.

[tvfreakarms]

I was told that using steel case ammo would scratch the upper. I was also told that i should wait to use steel case ammo after when I shot a few hundred rounds before using steel case. I have a pof upper by the way.

Personally, I think Steel cased ammo is for those who MUST shoot something
in their guns because they can't wait for brass cased ammo.

The cases leave a mark on the deflector when they exit the gun after firing.
Brass leaves a nice brass mark that can usually wipe off, the steel cases do
more to that deflector.......much more.

I'm not sure if this is a question, but if it is, a quick search will show that it is asked once a week or so

Shoot what you can afford. Your rifle should fire any ammo that is in spec. Some may be more accurate, some easier to clean up after. It's better to find out now instead of when the zombies are snacking on your dog.

Sorry my feeling is ITS a rifle. it should shoot whatever ammo you have. I shoot brass steel case alluminum then start all over. My guns are tools

reload your own so you can aford more used to buy two hundered at a time spend the same amount and crank out at least 3 hundred save your brass

First I wouldn't know what to get to start reloading my own ammo. Second i'm new the the ar world. This is my first build and I just got into it about 2 months ago.
I would assume reloading your own especially if you never done it before might be a little dangerous.

FWIW, I feel/suspect/wonder if steel cases work best with tapered cases ( 7.62x39 and such) and low pressure makarov / .380 auto rounds. Not to start a big debate.....just my 2 cents.

We all started somewhere. Get a reloading book and do some reading. There's many good topics on available reloading tools. Once you get the tools and have the book read it and it all just comes easy after that. You've got Case, case prep, primers, powder, and bullets. Its that easy. Use some powder MFG websites that have reloading date published and they will tell you how much powder to start with and any other important info. Stay within there limits and its not very dangerous at all. Just be patient and pay attention to what your doing and at some point besides being MUCH cheaper reloading becomes an addiction.
