I would not use ammunition in any weapon that has a steel case or a steel based case (plated by NI, CU, brass, etc) because steel cases damage firearms. In order for the steel cases to feed correctly they need to be plated or coated and most are coated by lacquer or a special polymer that gums up chambers and causes jams.
Additionally, steel does not relax as much as brass, when the pressure drops, so there tends to be more breech friction with steel. Finally the steel case causes additional wear on the extractor. I have seen many broken extractors. In closing if steel cases are good products then why use brass at all. FYI, many ranges do not allow steel case ammunition. I would not take my word for it call the weapon manufacture and let them give you information on steel cased ammunition because it can void warranties.
In regards to some misconceptions on wolf and other brands as long as they are of modern manufacture they are non-corrosive and they are most likely boxer primed. In some cases the GP and primer is of lower quality (dirty or soot canon).
I would stay away from Tula as I found many steel cases split apart running to the case head. I sent a message to the company with the lot # by e-mail and never received a response from them. Note: I found them at a range.
Many firearm manufactures hold reliable the ammunition manufacturer if the ammunition damages the firearm so only quality firms will reimburse. Basically you get what you pay for.
Steel is usually used during a material shortage during war time or if the price of brass goes up to a point where consumers will buy at a price point.
I hope this helps people and saves many firearms.
