My reloads are what I primarily shoot as range ammo, but from time to time I'll buy a case of 9mm ammo when I don't have time to reload. I'm seeing 9mm Wolf and Tulammo at a little over $.12 a round, which is tempting. I've heard many of the negatives of steel case ammo such as being harder on your extractor over time and being dirtier but have a question specific to the ammo without the lacquer coating. One of the things I heard from Sig's customer service was that the Russian steel case ammo, even without the lacquer coating, still has some kind of coating that can gum up your gun. Is there any truth to this? I don't intend on using this ammo frequently, but will using it occasionally somehow gum up my guns in a way that a good cleaning won't take care of?
I've used it in the past a few times, and the only problem I noticed is that on one occasion each with my VP9SK and P320 they failed to extract the spent case. Is this harmful to the gun?
