Any ammo issues with Saint AR

I’ve never run steel in any of my guns.
Ever.

I’ve run steel in all my guns, never an issue…

Ditto. I value my guns too much to even try. This is not a slight to anyone who does, at all. I 've seen/heard more bad than good when it comes to steel case. Can't bring myself to do it.

However, when I get my AK i'll run steel in that all day.

Did any of you guys with stuck cases inspect the brass for a split case? I've had a few cases split in chambers...fun to remove.

The only split case I've had was in a pcc (10mm).

had it with remanufactured domestic brass in 5.56. I was sure I'd break my Magpul stock trying to bash it out, but it came out. "remanufactured" is the only ammo I won't use (in my AR).

I know this is an old thread, but pre covid I bought many rounds of Armscor .223. It ran well in my Amalite Eagle. I bought a few new rifles since then. Well yesterday I dug out the Armscor ammo took Saint Victor to the range and my first round jammed. The BCG would not budge. I had to break down the rifle and pull the BCG. Tried it again and it jammed again. Rinse and repeat the tear down. Then they worked for the rest of the magazine. Put in another mag and that jammed. Brought everything home, cleaned and measured 12 rounds. Every one in spec. Filled the mag and they jammed again.

I never had an issue with any other ammo in the Saint Vic. I will not run armscore in the Vic again.

Just my 2 cents.

Hmm. Perusing this necro-thread I noticed my first post in this thread was made on my birthday in 2020.

Anyways, I'm still not using steel cased ammo. And I've heard bad things about Armscor so I don't use it.

I've seen dogs eat there own crap, don't mean there isn't better food available.
