I've shot it in my AK's figured it was made for it. Never had a problem but I've been seeing Steel case 9mm , 556 , and 300 Black Out , So has anyone been shooting in 9mm in a Glock or 556 in any AR and has it worked out.
All my Glocks hate them.
My Ruger P89 has never jammed ever and it eats them like they are free candy
Runs dirty but they go bang with decent accuracy. A number of indoor ranges don't allow them due to the bi-metal jacket pill. Experienced a couple of stuck cases in my ruger ar556, but keep the chamber clean and you shouldn't run any issues. Prolong use mainly wears out the extractor faster compared to running brass case, but that's an easy fix. It was worth it when it was dirt cheap, but those days are over now/
It's also worth noting that they have hard primers (berdan primers) and are underpowered. These factors are the reasons why some guns don't like them.
Your right about the prices the stuff I have was bought some time ago and those days are gone as you said , I just looked around and it is still cheaper than brass ammo but way more than what I paid for it , I only got some because it was stupid cheap .
Steel Match has Hornady bullets and is using Hornady loadings, it is not going to produce the same sort of barrel wear or weird pressure curves as the Russian stuff.I bought 1k rounds of Hornady Steel Case Match 5.56 ammo a few years ago. I started running it in my ARs over the last year. After about 500 rounds, not one problem! It is accurate too, hence the name. Doesn’t seem any dirtier than typical brass.
