[QUOTE="orcldba, post: 2567723, member: 67484"] Steel cased ammo is mild steel, not as hard as barrel steel, so it won’t hurt the chamber, unless the TFE coating is scratched and the steel rusts and can cause contamination. I had extractors break with steel cased ammo on other platforms. The M1 barrel is a pain to replace (as opposed to an AR), so I always use brass and keep pressures down with an adjustable gas plug as bent operating rods do happen. Remember that this a tool designed around slightly looser chamber tolerances than commercial AR10/LR/308’s. If you dropped a loaded clip in action you would shake it off and load it. [/QUOTE]
