Boncrayon: said:Many indoor ranges do not allow steel or aluminum casings because of the brittle nature of the casing. Brass is best.
I know for a fact that two of the ranges that I go to that do not allow steel or aluminum cased ammo, do so because they deprime, clean, and resell the once-fired brass that hasn't been picked up, and it is labor intensive for range personnel to manually sort out the steel & aluminum cases from the brass cases. I'll agree that brass is best, but I have used and will continue to use steel and aluminum cased ammo at the ranges that allow it, and I have not experienced a problem with brittle steel or aluminum cased ammo.
