Brass or steel casings

Both are good but brass is easier to put away long term.

priv partisan is serbian but not usually steel. there is of course tons of russian ammo like tula, wolf(technically american but the ammo is just tula), barnaul, and vympel. not to mention surplus which comes from all over europe.

Pretty much all Russian manufacture ammo for the most part is steel, or copper washed steel. Germans used steel ammo extensively in the latter stages of WWI and throughout WWII. Pretty much all of the Warsaw pact ammunition was steel case. Lots of Chinese ammo is steel case as well. There's really no reason not to use steel case, other than the fact that brass is more easily worked and reusable.

familiar with tulammo and wolf, but i guess i wasn't counting ruskies as euros.

In the states we really don't manufacture a lot of steel case, Hornady of all companies offers a few loadings, Winchester offers pistol ammo in steel, and we do have several companies offering ammo in aluminum cases. France uses(perhaps used, now that they are phasing out the FAMAS) steel case 5.56 due to high chamber pressure during extraction.

i forgot about aluminum cases. shot any lately?
i bought one box of blazer years ago and got a bunch of FTE's, so i've steered away. in retrospect though, it could have been that old shitty walther.

Are you poor?

>Train how you fight.
Go ahead, zero your safe queen at the range with some wolf .223 ammo. (They're totally the same!!!)
And then die when the bugaloo happens because your rifle is hitting 12" higher with factory loaded federal and you didn't hit shit...

Retard that shoots 180gr fmj blazer at the range but has 135gr HP browning loaded for CC....

I see it fairly often in shooting ranges in my region (Mittelland).
I use it too because it's the cheapest ammo for plinking.

I avoid brass because it increases wear on firearms, vs the softer steel case.
