Hmmm, I wonder if Wolf is making it for them?

yeah, they can say it performs like brass, but it wouldn't be a good marketing department if they said, "well most of the time it works, except in these cases" ;) That being said, I can't really remember my SKS ever having problems with steel cased ammo. I think it's a good idea, can't wait to try some out. If I can get 9mm for $10 a box cheaper it would make going out a plinking that much better

I agree on the price.....I can get TULAMMO for 4.97 per 20 in .223 but I won't use it in my M-15....So I hope it is a fair price...I can get Federal .223 55 FMJ for 40 bucks a box of a 100 and 150 gr .308 or 15 a box for plinking ammo....so we will see... :unsure:
As for the SKS or AK....it is well know that those weapons will chamber just about anything you put in them.....Not so with the HIGHER quality ArmaLites...well at least that is what I think any way.... :dry:

I've never had a problem shooting Wolf. It actually works well. Hornady's statement that 'it performs like brass' is interesting. I would say that yes you can get accuract loads out of steel cases, but steel does not expand like brass. (unless they've come up with some sort of mild steel that mimicks brass expansion).

And this is where the problem is with steel cases. If your going to shoot steel cases, then stick with the steel cases. If you go from steel to brass, you are going to have problems. The reason being is, like I said earlier, steel does not expand like brass, and thus burnt powder residue has a tendency to escape back into the chamber because of this. Thus you get a build up. This is no problem if you stick to just steel cases, but once you switch over to brass, then you get stuck cases. Because the brass expands and gets stuck in the "goop" of the burnt powder. Usually it takes 3 shots of brass to clean this out, or you need to clean it out with your normal cleaning proceedures before shooting brass reliably.

I have no issue shooting the steel cases. Done it for years with no issues, other than mixing the brass cases with steel.

One other thing. I wouldn't be surprised to see more manufacturers come out with steel cases. Brass is becoming expensive!!
