FWIW, the Hornady steel case that I've shot was very accurate, much more so than imported steel case ammo.

I note with interest a quote from an online article comparing brass and steel cases in ARs (albeit 5.56): "We found no evidence to back up the claim that lacquer coatings melt in the chamber and cause extraction failures."

P.S. Other relevant data points from the article: "The steel cases themselves don’t have any effect on the condition of the bore. The difference lies with the projectile – the soft copper jacket of the Federal ammunition simply doesn’t cause the same amount of wear as the bimetal (copper and steel) jacket of the Russian ammunition.":: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

The green lacquer coating proved to be superior in the testing of this caliber. This is not to say it is always the case but with the length to diameter ratio of the cartridge and also the operating pressures we saw marked improvements in feed and extraction with the green lacquer over all other coatings. In abrasive contamination tests we used black coral sand as well as platelet desert wind blown sand to evaluate the behavior and would note that the feed and extraction was in some instances better than the control brass cased ammunition.
The projectile design was evolved over a period of time to create a yaw cycle that would be tolerant to intermediate barriers and also body extremities. The driving design requirement was to make sure it was adequate to take game in the class of feral hogs. It should be noted that the yaw cycle can be shortened or extended with simple design manipulations
Projectile weight was balanced against recoil and velocity specifically from shorter barrel weapons while ensuring the pressure point at the port would support reliable operation.

Bill, thank you for providing information and explaining the process to all of us. I know I don't typically use steel cases in any caliber but knowing the testing involved and the fact that you've personally tested, and signed off on, this product adds to my confidence level. It has taken a long time for this to come to fruition (well, we're almost there) so hopefully it's worth the wait.Μολὼν λαβέ

We either hang together on this, or we'll certainly HANG separately.....
