[QUOTE="murphy j, post: 2006637, member: 6452"] And most of those guys can't hit squat. Doesn't matter what size round it is if you can't hit it and that's a big problem. Not enough marksmanship training. Even most of the SF guys I interacted with were running 5.56, with the occasional SCAR-H thrown in. Now back to the OP's regularly scheduled thread. I've shot steel case out of a 'lesser' AR, but was told by a gunsmith friend not to use it. He said in limited use it's fine, but can wear and possibly gouge the chamber over time. I had no problems with it and have heard both sides of the issue. Some say it's best to just run brass case in a quality AR, but others say there's no difference. I know Hornady is making steel case training ammo in 5.56/.223 and I haven't heard anything bad about it. I prefer brass case ammo just to be on the safe side. [/QUOTE]
