Make it the same price as bulk brass 5.56, and we're back in the game. The reason Steel was acceptable in Grendel, is because the round was made to be steel from the get-go as well, and the 5.56 Steel cased problem issues, seem to not show up with Grendel so much. I've shot plenty of steel in Grendel, and am happy to do so; but I don't touch it in 5.56.
Has PSA announced yet which calibers they are going to make steel for? Last announcement I seen, they are still hoping to release their initial calibers for their steel line later this year but I haven't seen a list of what calibers they will be offering.
