Also, what is the jacketing of the Russian stuff you're looking at? There is some debate about steel.

There is some debate about steel

Back when we had our last ammo shortages I bought some Wolf .223 steel, worked fine for several thousand rounds. Then I had this nasty jam, thought I was going to have to go to a gunsmith. Fortunately, I got it out. The brass .223 /5.56 had come down by that time & the price difference wasn't as significant, so I sold the Wolf and went back to brass.

Would I buy the Wolf again? If no brass was available, yes I would. I was shooting the steel .223 through a Rock River Arms Wylde chamber.
