Just be careful when shooting steel case ammo. The lacquer coating intended to keep the cases from rusting WILL melt when you "get happy" and get the chamber hot enough to melt it. Later it will return to solid and is a P I A to clean, and can easily become dangerous.

bought 500 rds off of sportsmansguide last night $137 plus shipping 55gr SP steel cased, but what the heck
Stalkingbear is correct....watch that steel-cased ammo. The owner's manual of my DPMS very clearly warns you about shooting it just for the reasons Neil said....
