Does it shoot better than Barnaul and tula?
Yep.
Much better

Another ammo company has jumped on the scene with killer deals on brass .223. Only FMJ so far. Hopefully some soft points as well.
So what is the difference with regard to usage, performance and effects on chamber between steel and brass? One of the does in Auckland told me steel wasn't good for the chamber, what's that about?

Don't hold me on this but i'm pretty sure that it is very rough on extractors and can sometimes be more prone to getting jammed in the chamber due to it being a lot harder than brassQuote:

Wasn't the brass case the same price when available anyway?
Again, Don't hold me on it ;) Don't have anything that shoots steel cased stuff. Only going off of what i've been told.Quote:

Ah ok,prices I remember seeing were around $45 pkt for both types but that was when there was virtually none of either around.
Steel cases do not wear out chambers. The bimetal jacket projectiles commonly loaded in cheap steel cased ammo do wear out barrels faster.
