    This had 9 view when I watched it. I'm assuming 3 were Yeager re-admiring himself and 6 were Evan admiring Yeager :D

    In response to the video, I saw a report from a group that tested 10,000 rounds each in 4 brand new identical AR15 rifles. Three were using steal cased ammo with bi metal projectiles and the forth was using Federal brass cased ammo. The Federal was the only ammo that went 10,000 rounds without a single failure. Something to consider.

    I'm pretty sure the "lacquer or polymer coating melts and coats the chamber" myth has been busted. The stuck cases in cool chambers is due to the inability for the steel to expand and seal the chamber off from the carbon as well as the brass does.

    That was my thinking also. MAC has a great video on this. I'll try to find it.

    Another good thread.

    This video contained a lot of good and useful information regarding steel cased ammo. I mostly agree, with the exception of why the cases get stuck in the chamber.

    Calling steel cased ammo "high quality", is funny to me. I'm not saying it's junk, but I have never found it to be consistent in the least bit.
