What caliber and to what purpose? What's considered "budget"?
The CZ 527 rifles are rumored to shoot steel cased ammo just as well or better than brass in the calibers it comes in (from my own testing, that's true for 7.62x39). I would imagine that mil surp Mausers probably do as well.
My x39 527 is about equally accurate with brass vs steel ammo (for me), but the brass I’ve tried runs never cycles quite as smoothly as the steel does.What caliber and to what purpose? What's considered "budget"?

Shoots Russian ammo to 1.5 inch groups all day long. At 200 yards or less it works perfectly for hunting

The first 440 round I shot out of my Mosin Nagant were Bulgarian steel case ammo. (At least I think it was Bulgarian.) It all shot just fine.
However, many years ago I was shooting wolf steel cased stuff out of a Rem 7 chambered in 223 and one expanded on me. Took a plastic mallet to beat the bolt open. Did not do that again.
Life is good.
