Does anyone have any experience with Winchester/USA Forged Steel Case ammo? Particularly in 9mm in a compact handgun?
I've always avoided steel-cased ammo in my rifles for fear of tearing up the gun. Some of that may be based on horror stories about the poor quality crap coming out of Eastern Europe (Tula and Wold specifically.)
I can buy this stuff for $8.50/box of 50 locally, but I can also buy Blazer Brass for $9.99/box of 50 locally. (About 2¢/rd difference.) My preferred is Federal Champion aluminum-cased 9m at $8.99/box of 50, but it's almost never in stock locally. When it is, I buy as much as I can possibly afford, sometimes that's the entire stock on the shelf.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on this steel-cased ammo from Winchester?
