I have heard from them what knows better than I, that it can be bad juju for your meant-for-brass-cases American extractor to be asked to grab on steel cases too much.
I are not expert on this, but it rings true.
I will, of course, bow to anyone with actual experience, say, 50,000 miles on their extractor shooting steel-cased stuff.
It's true. The steel stuff is hard on extractors. But I can buy ten extractors for what I save on one case of ammo buying Barnaul vs. Federal or Winchester.
So, who cares if you have to replace an extractor after 2k or 3k rounds? It's a $30 part and a 5 minute procedure.
It should be noted that I have not yet broken one.
