Hello all.
I know this subject has been talked about before. I want to just offer my opinion FWIW.
I have shot quite a bit of steel case and brass case ammo. I can find no difference in the two from a function perspective.
I have shot steel case exclusively through my SKS and AK with zero problems.
I also have found that the AR folks are the ones that seem to complain the most about steel case ammo.
I find it somewhat amusing that "cheap" Russian rifles can shoot thousands of steel case rounds with no ill effects while "expensive" AR rifles cannot make it through a box without jamming and breaking the extractors. This is an exaggeration for example purposes.
The only firearm I shoot brass through exclusively is .22 rifle and .44 Magnum. I have never found anyone that makes steel case .44 Mag ammo. It would be nice as .44 Mag is so expensive.
I shoot mostly brass case in my 9mm pistols as there seems to be almost no proce difference between brass case and steel case 9mm ammo. Not to mention that brass case is far more available in 9mm from my observations.
