I do not use steel ammo as I reload. I do use it in when/ if I fire my AK or SKS. As mentioned is there any real proof that it cause harm? The lacquer coated stuff can leave a sticky residue if a lot is fired and the barrel gets real hot, but proper cleaning will take care of that. The polymer coated seems better.
Note, Hornady (who knows ammo and reloading
) now makes
Steel Match so how bad can it be?. But even though I use Wolf primers and would not shoot Wolf ammo in a high priced gun, but that's just me.
