Brass is elastic under extreme pressure. Steel expands to fill the space but does not contract when peak pressure drops. The extractor needs to rip it out of the chamber, which it will do until it won't. I've never shot a round of steel cased ammo. The manual with HK rifles (fluted chamber) expressly warns against steel cased ammo in their rifles. I've never shot aluminum cased ammo either although the .45 Colt Blazer looks interesting. Joe
