Theres another factor that people don't know or forget about with the steel cased ammo.
The lacquer they spray over the steel. If you are shooting a lot, and your chamber heats up, it will start melting the lacquer and in turn gumming up your chamber. Its not that big of a deal in the AK's are SKS's, they are not built so tightly. BUT start running it through a higher quality rifle, and you may see some problems.
If your going to shoot Wolf Steel case, I would suggest you buy a couple of spare extractors and learn how to replace them too.

One more issue with the steel ammo.... Some indoor ranges won't allow it on their range. In addition to the steel case, a lot of this ammo has a steel core projectile too. This damages some backstops, and also will cause sparks.... not really a good thing on a dirty indoor range.
