    If you don't mind treating your barrel as a disposable unit, using steel cased ammo over the long haul might make sense.

    Not this baby, it’s an absolute minter a-bolt stainless stalker (older model) fired less than a box of ammo. Rare as hens teeth.

    For the amount of shots we will fire through it probably should stick to brass cases
