In all of my non-AK guns, I insist on using only brass cased ammo. I know steel casings do not expand and seal the chamber as brass and the steel is very hard on the chamber and extractor of most semi-auto guns. Well, what about bolt actions? Since I'd be operating the bolt/extractor by hand, and I can be more careful than an automated ejection cycle, wouldn't it be a bit gentler to the extractor?
Specifically, I am thinking of getting a .308 bolt action and trying to cut down on ammo costs (for less-serious target shooting) by going with steel casings.
