    For steels, not for brass according to the literature.

    Not completely unfortunately. The head around the perimeter for the few millimetres where it emerges from the chamber - from the upper edge of the extraction groove back - is not supported. I have brass from this part of a case embedded in various parts of me so would encourage everyone here to err on the side of caution when it comes to things that might affect case heads.
