I have a bit of a newbie question. I have noticed that most ammo uses brass cases, but there are other ammos that use steel cases, aluminum cases, brass plated steel cases, nickel plated cases, polymer coated cases, etc.
What is the difference between the cases? Why would one kind of case be preferable to another?
I do not reload (yet). Does the case material only matter for reloading?
If it matters, I shoot two guns - a Ruger Security Six (38/357), and a Taurus Millenium Pro 9mm. Is there any reason to prefer one kind of case over another for either of these guns?
Thanks,
Bryce
