I like Wolf gold because it's cheap and I can't shoot steel case at my local range. Federal is fine too. Those are the two main cheap brands they sell near me.

Can't shoot steel case? Why?
Steel core I've heard cuz it messes up the backstop, but CASE? What purpose?
>>31523806
why does your range restrict steel case?
>>31523780
I mostly buy monarch since it's the cheapest near me. $5 for 20 rounds generally.
I really need to start buying online.

Probably because his range is scared of 'bimetal' jackets/steel core or they just want to sell his brass.

Wolf Gold is pretty good is you just want plinking ammo.
>is this a good time to buy?
If you want ammo before the election, it's not going to get any better.
I like sgammo. bought some 7.62x39 from them ez pz

Range near me burned down because someone was shooting steel case.
That is all I know.

Had nothing to do with the case.
Assuming what you were told was true, it was due to steel core bullet sparking on the backstop. There's no scenario where a steel case could start a fire.
(X)M193 5.56 is only a couple cpr more expensive than Wolf Gold .223. Does it make more sense to stock up on that?

Steel cases do not absorb as much heat from the shot as brass does. With that in mind, how does what you said make any sense?>>31523851
They're just lazy, and do not want to have to sort out your steel from the free brass they get and sell off their range floors. That's it.

Magtech factory reloads
$170/half case

If you're just plinking get the cheapest brass you can find, no reason to spend more if you're just punching holes in paper at <100m. Just like rifle setup, ammo choice should depend on intended use.
