My biggest beef with running steel cased ammo isn't the case but the bimetal jacketed bullets. The thin copper coating on the bullets wears away and results in steel on steel contact as the bullet travels down the barrel, wearing the barrel quicker than normal. You'll be replacing a barrel every four to five thousand rounds.
