Question about steel cased ammo

Yeah, I'm not surprised one bit that he couldn't explain. So I'll tell you why.

The simple overall answer is that they don't want to mess with steel casings laying around and having to collect and dispose of it.

I've been at ranges where you were not allowed to p/u your brass, therefore the brass then belonged to the range. They didn't allow steel cased ammo. Their excuse then, "That there steel cased Russian crap is dangerous. There has been many reported KB's with that bad, bad, bad ammo". I thought to myself "Huh? Wut? What a load of BS. I guess any other brass cased ammo is OK even handloads, which have always been proven never to cause a KB". But of course AFTER they start selling steel cased ammo, THEN it was OK. Other lame excuses: "Steel cases causes more damage to the range facilities walls, dividers, ceilings, etc." and "Steel cased ammo is corrosive and emits toxic gasses when fired". But those were the things said about steel cased ammo when it was relatively new.

Yep, real guys of genuses. One of several reasons I don't shoot at ranges with range nazi's present. I either go open desert or ranges w/o safeties at times when nobody is present.

And yes, I did tell that steel cased ammo is easily picked up using a area magnet attached to a broom handle.
