All above good information, but my question remains unanswered: Does anyone KNOW if steel cased ammo really is tougher on guns or does it just seem like it makes sense to think so?
And a follow up: Is there such a thing as pistols designed with different internal metallurgy in order to withstand steel cased rounds or is this also conjecture?
Anyone here have a definitive answer or are we all in the dark on this?
Thanks

Re: monarch blue box ammo
While I agree "steel cased cartridges" are probably tougher on pistols: Is that a fact or conjecture?
I'd really like to know the answer as the appeal of lower cost ammo is the type encouragement I need to practice more at the range.
I originally bought a 9mm for this very reason, inexpensive to shoot...and now even this caliber is very costly to shoot hundreds of rounds and that's what I like to shoot when I practice. Hundreds of rounds seem almost like blowing away money rather than lead.
Ugh.
So, does anyone know if steel cased ammo really is tougher on guns or does it just SEEM like it makes sense to think so?
