Don't see why not.
I have some PLASTIC cased .308 practice ammo.
These things have plastic cases AND plastic projectiles!
The complaint about steel is damage to the extractor. I think it will take quite a long time to damage your extractor at that rate of fire.
It takes a while in an semi auto, so I cant imagine you would ever see a failure.
Seriously?
Seriously?
When I shot .44 MAG, I had plastic shells with plastic wad cutters. Used just a primer for propellant. Got about 600 fps. Great fun shooting cardboard boxes with a couple of blankets in them.
It's German. Military training ammo. It's a one piece plastic case and the "bullet" part is just held on with a thinner bit. Pretty cool concept.

The steel case isn't the problem, it's the steel jacketed bullet.
Yes it does wear your barrel harder than a copper jacketed bullet. I don't run it in my guns solely because of that.
If it's a beater rifle and not a diamond in the rough, sub MOA barrel, then there's no reason to be concerned about it.
If it's a collectible rifle, or holds value to you, and you aren't comfortable with eventually rebarreling it, then stay away.
Yep, that's the stuff.
Pretty neat idea.
VERY loud, and if I remember correctly, those plastic projectiles leave the barrel at close to 4000fps, but don't travel much more than 100 yards or so.
The projectile weighs an astounding 11 grains..
Even at this I shy away from it.
If you have a nice HotRod Camaro will you be running 89 Octane in it because of price....????
God I hope not.
But I am a bit meticulous about my firearms. If I know something "Could" damage them I will not run it. Period.
JMHO of course.
If you got-em then smoke-em. It is your rifle.
Yep, that's the stuff.
