I've seen polymer-coated steel cases stick just like the lacquer-coated steel cases.
I used to only shoot brass in my Carbon-15 pistol, and when it got dirty, cases would stick in the chamber too. Clean it and it worked fine - it just doesn't like to be dirty, that's all. So, I've been shooting the poly-coated wolf in it and, so far, not one has stuck. If functions flawlessly, so long as I keep the chamber and bolt clean.

My AC556 isn't as finicky as the Carbon-15 pistol. I can shoot hundreds of rounds of Wolf thorugh it with no hick-ups whatsoever. Ammo isn't the problem in the AC, out-of-spec mags are. I had to work on a beta mag for a couple of hours, filing small amounts of the feed lips off a little at a time for a couple of hours until I could get it to run smoothly. The first time I popped that betamag in my AC, I couldn't even force the bolt carrier back. All it took was a lot of patience, a flat file, and 2 hours of filing and testing at the range.
