Hi.. Never tried steel on a 30-06 bolt action, I have 2 (Browning A bolt and older Remington 700) and am looking for some cheaper target rounds but not sure about steel cases. Should I have any concerns????

Thank you..

Thanks for reaching out Gary! Steel cases have two primary drawbacks, and they both stem from steel's lower elasticity than that of brass. First off, these cases won't return to their original dimensions once fired. If you don't handload, that's no loss. But steel cases also permit more carbon fouling into a rifle's action. That really only means you'll have to clean your rifles more thoroughly. These rounds do have magnetic bullets, so take care which ranges you bring them to. Beyond that, just take care that steel-cased ammo is typically not as high quality as the brass-cased stuff you're used to firing. You may experience more failures to extract, but I personally have not experienced this problem with the steel-cased ammo I have purchased over the years. Ultimately, how this ammo performs has much to do with your particular rifles.
