It wont wear out the gun any slower or faster.
I shoot it regularly. Less costly and I dont reload. And I shoot STEEL CASED as well according to some Im ruining my gun. LOL. I will die before I shoot any of my guns enough to "wear um out". Heck Instill shoot my grandpas 1930s guns. They arent wore out yet.

No issues with the aluminum cased ammo.

The problem with steel cased ammo isn't the casing, it's that most of the ammo is actually a steel bullet with a thin copper coating. The steel case causes no damage, the steel bullet ruins your rifling.

 

Thanks for the clarification on the steel case thing and glad to hear that the aluminum cased ammo is good too. I found the aluminum cased ammo (Federal) for $15/100 box

That's almost all I shoot

Good to know a steady diet of the stuff will not do harm

run aluminum case stuff all the time.... have had zero problems in it with any of the various firearms used. Good to go, but watch the prices... sometimes good ole brass is cheaper, Alum. isn't always a best buy.

 

Oh I know. I'm definitely going to watch the prices

Uh... Tula has always been steel case, ALAIR...

Pretty cheap now at WM, guess I need to try some again...

The bi metal bullet not the case

 

Aluminum is 100% good to go, shoot as much as you want

Steel case is 99% good to go, high volume down a RIFLE will wear out the rifling faster due to the much faster round velocity. Pistol rounds with slower velocity will not wear rifling out at any appreciable rate as far as I've been able to tell

I shoot virtually anything factory out of a pistol without reservation

My rifles only see copper jacketed rounds unless its the beater AR which can have a barrel swapped for less than $100

Got s link that a steel bullet down a steel barrel won't impact the rifling or is this just your opinion?

A lot probably depends on what kind of pistols you own but I'm not shooting crap steel bullets down a quality gun.

 

I just bought 100 rounds of Federal aluminum cased 9mm at Wallyworld for $19.95.

Yeah I'm a bit confused here. What is the chart about and how does it apply?

I shoot aluminum case all the time. It's cheaper and for range ammo it works just fine. Never had a issue.

Only thing I can imagine is steel, aluminum, brass. All have different expansion rates with x amount of heat. Does it matter in my pistol so far no.

The chart was just for your own personal growth. It illustrates the cost of shooting brass case vs steel case even including preventative barrel changes every 4000 rounds.

The main point was that no barrels in the lucky gunner test were shot out by 3000 rounds. It was 6000.

 

And what could conclusion do you draw from that chart?

I meant to chain you guys in the first reply.

 

No worries. Thanks for the clarification and good to know

A chrome lined bore might handle it fine but I stay away from the shitty bimetal jacket stuff too. It's usually dirty and not very accurate for me anyway. I'll go find American Eagle or Blazer or Remington.

WWB is off my list too. Dirty and I've seen too many bad cartridges lately.

 

Again, I'm not seeing that interpretation. Looking at the provided chart :

All the ammo starts above 3 MOA. Then they retest every 2000 rounds, so the line in between those really doesn't mean much. The testing procedure is using a scope off a bag, so minor variances in accuracy aren't really that telling either.

1/2 to 1 MOA doesn't mean anything to you, does to me. At 4k it's 2 MOA, at that point the barrel is useless IMO.

 

Are you talking about a steel case (like Tula or WPA) or steel-jacketed bullets?

 

At this point we are fully involved in the Lucky Gunner tests.

 

I gotta go to work now.

 

I wonder what the difference would be between, say, Aguila and Federal? Also, does anyone know what the Aguila ammo is made from? I couldn't find anything on their website. I know the case has to be either steel or aluminum. My untrained eye can't tell the difference yet.

It's not the case it's the bullet. I believe all the bullet makers except the Russians use lead and copper or just copper. Cuda posted earlier that even the Russians are moving to a copper over lead bullet, which is good news.

The ranges will put a magnet on your bullet, not the case, and if it reacts you have a steel bullet and a lot of them won't let you use it because it chews up the backstops.
