My Glock eats steel ammo like a champ. Shoots just as accurate as the brass cased I use too.

One thing I like about Steel case is that they are biodegradable, leave a steel case in the environment and it will oxidize and wither away. Brass lasts a lot longer.

@jerryspriinger also dont switch between steel and brass, that will give you the most problems. When the brass expands it fills the gap that the steel cased ammo was leaving, but with the extra residue it can cause the brass cases to start giving you fte's though that is all from second hand sources, i only use steel cased ammo.

@jerryspriinger the coating is polymer now, and it isnt coming off the cases, the poster above was accurate in that the steel cases just dont expand like the brass cases do, it lets residue from firing build up a little more in the chamber. I have fired about 300 rounds in one sitting with my Glock 17 and had no issues. Every time i hit the range im putting about 200 rounds through it, all steel cased. just never seen a problem and im way over 5k rounds of steel cased.

Also the reason to not use metal casings is because they do not expand properly like brass. This creates a gap between the casing and chamber for carbon to build up. Which eventually causes rounds to stick in the chamber. Also it is harder on the extractor. Some people say big deal I will just replace the extractor. Thats fine but why not just use brass and not replace the extractor LOL

The blazer ammo and the two casings in the manila envelope are Aluminum! And the purpose of the rounds in the manila envelope is to give to states that require it for a ballistics database. The purpose is that if there is a crime they can compare the casings at the crime scene with the database. your state does not require the casings so they were given to you with the gun when you bought it. Nothing personal but thumbs down for incorrect information.

1. It ALUMINUM! and 2. The cases aren't to prove it fires...its for legal purposes if your cases ever need to be compared to ones found at a crime scene .
