so for the past weeks.. I have been to the range 4 times and put about 500 rounds through the bcm.. and needless to say, I'm pleased with the results.. I had one issue where the casing was stuck but other than that.. is been flawless..

these past 2 weeks, I have been to the range more times than I have in the 1st 6 months of this year..

The RA308 is over 1 grand more and looks the part, but both will group about 3.5-4" at 300 yards, which is pretty damn nice.

Cool. looking forward to seeing the RA308 after the cerekote job.

so this weekend.. me and my boys are going to the hills for some fun..

my question is though..

has anyone ran steel case ammo through there ar? cause, they have spam cans of .223 at wally world for $119..

I figure, for plinking it wouldn't be idea.. I rather save my brass case for carbine class.. cause at $4 dollars and some change for 20 rounds.. is alot cheaper than buying brass.. and on top of that, if my ar can't run steel case ammo.. there is some serious issues there.

i haven't done it personally, as I do not own an AR, that said..


ive read a LOT about it, and I see no reason why it would be an issue. the steel in the rifle is much harder than the steel case. there are many guns out there that have shot many thousands of steel cased ammo, and are still functioning just fine.

for the amount you would be using, and at the cycle rate, even IF there was some accelerated wear, it would be so insignificant you wouldn't ever know about it.

Steel cases (which are a mix of steel and copper jacket) will wear out your barrel faster. Lucky gunner did a test.

This isn't a huge issue for pistols, rifles are a different animal due to the much greater forces involved.

how can barrel wear be caused by the CASE? that would be a projectile issue.

chamber, and extractor wear I can see being possible, but barrel? not seeing it.

Commie ammo is steel case, often with lacquer, and the jacket is a mix of steel and copper.

Steel case is a misnomer, or at least an inadequate descriptor.

I've shuffled some rifles around and consolidated on these 2 as my only AR's. Top one is a BCM SOCOM M4 rifle, bottom one is an LMT Defender upper on a lower I built using a RRA receiver and BCM and Daniel Defense internals.

Don't get me started about Here in NY... you'll get locked up if you get caught carving what looks like a handgun out of ivory soap.
