I shoot steel-cased Tula in my PTR-91. Two reasons, the fluted chamber can be rough on brass and the rifle flings empties into low earth orbit. For a reloader both are negatives. Some would argue that the fluted chamber marks are a non-issue. It truly becomes a non-issue when I can't recover the cases!

So that brings me to my next point. Why not take up reloading? Components are tough to find right now and when you do, they're pricey. But reloading does give you some fliexibility; you can judiciously use a variety of different components and you should be able to save some bucks once you get past the initial investment. Plus it would give you a pastime during the long cold winters.
