Vast quantites of steel cased .30 Carbine (and also .45 ACP) were made and used by the US military during WWII, so it was in no way experimental. After the war, in the Korean War era, some was also made by Frankford Arsenal. And of course the Russians also made steel-cased .30 Carbine. There is a lot of it still around.
