A question on this crazy ammo before I go grab a bunch to break in this new build. I see a lot of complaints about steel case ammo being used in AR type rifles. Anyone here have any issues with it and did you solve it besides not use it? I am going to use USA stuff but for having a ball with mag dumps I thought maybe some steel. Are might work as it is cheap cheap.

Some companies like Bushmaster and DPMS instantly void the warranty, but being fair, that was the days of dollar-a-box bomb shelter ammo with spotty quality control. If it's got a chrome or nitride barrel and a good gas system for THAT round, not a surplus slap-on gas tube, it's perfect, but I'd keep the bore blaster handy. I hear Windex is great at dealing with corrosive ammo.

Steel’s great for mag dumps, just accept it’s the fast food of ammo.

Sometimes you just have to go madman once in a while!
