Re: Brass/steel/aluminum ammo. Pros and cons of each?

Steel is coated with a rust preventative which can get gummy when the barrel gets hot and then will get stuck in the chamber. I know this from personal experience.

I bought a pack of aluminum 45ACP at a really good price. One in five failed to feed in my PX4. I was finally glad to get it all shot out at the range. I never tried to carry it after seeing how it failed.

So, I think I will stay exclusively with brass.
