This video details a range update for a Bear Creek Arsenal 7.62x39 AR-15 upper. After experiencing broken extractors and firing pins, the user installed a Right to Bear enhanced firing pin. The upper initially ran well with steel-cased Tulammo, but issues arose with stuck casings due to the barrel heating up and steel cases not contracting like brass. Switching to brass-cased Tulammo resolved the extraction problems and improved reliability and accuracy.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of magazine reliability, demonstrating how a firearm's performance is directly impacted by the quality of its magazines. It compares three different magazine brands for Glock 9mm pistols: Amend2, PMAG, and OEM Glock. The Amend2 magazine is shown to be completely unreliable, malfunctioning with all ammunition types. PMAGs are deemed a decent option for brass-cased ammunition but struggle with steel-cased rounds. OEM Glock magazines are highlighted as the most reliable, capable of feeding all ammunition types and offering superior durability.

This video from Brownells, featuring Steve and Caleb, addresses the common concern about whether steel-cased ammunition can damage firearms. They explain that modern steel-cased ammo is generally safe for most platforms, including modern AR-15s and AK-47s, debunking myths about polymer coatings and corrosive primers. While steel cases can cause increased extractor wear and carbon blowback due to less efficient chamber sealing compared to brass, the cost savings on ammunition typically outweigh the minor maintenance costs of occasional extractor replacement. The video highlights that historical issues were often due to corrosive primers, not the steel cases themselves.

This guide details a practical test to debunk the myth that steel-cased ammunition causes brass-cased ammunition to stick in a handgun's chamber. Following the methodology of Military Arms Channel, it involves firing a significant quantity of steel-cased rounds followed immediately by brass-cased rounds in an uncleaned firearm. The test demonstrates that for handguns like the CZ P-07, this common internet rumor is unfounded, highlighting the importance of verifying information from reliable sources.
