.45 ACP if it matters. I know the steel cased stuff is bad ju-ju in rifle caliber's; hard on the gun, etc. Assuming I'm not reloading.... anything wrong with shooting the aluminum cased stuff to save a $?
And if I remember right, according to that article you can shoot steel cased, and replace your barrels twice and still be money ahead over buying brass...
I do typically, I'm reviewing now. After the rash of shit from Ieatrocksguy I figured thread was in downward troll spiral.
I'm glad MANY others were able to provide sensible, logical responses, based off their experiences. That was what I wanted and was looking for originally. For that I'm appreciative
What the fuck are you blabbering on about "boutique gun"???? A spikes middy is as ordinary as apple pie you nitwit.
You keep trying to bolster your original incorrect claim you started this thread with. But the data youve posted has been thoroughly discussed here and else where to show shooting the dirtiest of steel cased ammo saves you an extensive amount of money even if you end up replacing parts.
Yes, I'm talking talking lighter competition loads and not "buffalo bore" spec here...
I reload the shit out of AL 9mm cases. A couple of us locals do. Newbies come to matches with that shit and make it rain with once-fired casings. Why not actually try it?
Well...
For the record, they usually split on the 8th or 9th reload when you attempt to seat a bullet, when pushing a 147gr ball round at speeds well below 1000fps. They get lost well before that point, ordinarily.
Oh, and any communist gun was designed to fire steel cases ammo. Unless you reload it, I cannot conceive of any reason to feed brass ammo to an AK/SKS. It doesn't care what it eats, save your money.

My STEn gun hates alum cases anmo...fe3d issues, bullets pushed into the case (shoot with a big bang), and occasionally don't extract....
Brass and steel work just fine and it has hundreds of rds fired without issue....never been cleaned.
The AK feeds anything in the mag...it was cleaned once at an OSR shoot...
The Macs shoot anything without issue...theu get cleaned occasionally. ...
Maybe I need to pay closer attention to guns worth more than a few thousand dollars?
