I am curious as to which companies these are.
I don't recall ever seeing something like this on any of my Ruger manuals.
I tried that stuff in a DB380 and had the same problem. I don't think the Tulammo is hot enough to reliably cycle the slide on the pocket guns. I use steel exclusively in my AK. I did get a "warning" from the guy that built my AR about the possibility of the lacquer coating gumming up the chamber (I guess if you didn't clean it regularly). I've got 100 rounds of Tulammo .223, but I haven't shot any yet.I was using some steel tul ammo in my bodyguard .380 and it would constantly jam. never had a single jamming issue with any brass ammo
Del-ton, Olympic, DPMS... just to name a few.... I'll do some more research for you if you'd like... Ruger however does not have this policy in place, neither does my sig sauer... just a heads up, read the manual because more and more companies are switching to this policy.
Thanks for the reply. I seriously did not know this! Just gives me a bigger list of manufacturers to stay away from. I personally think its stupid to offer a warranty if your firearm cant handle all types of ammo. I wonder how many Russians got their panties all bunched up over what types of ammo they could use in their AK. Maybe the US policy of raising a generation of p#ss!es has transferred over to firearms manufacturers also.

But the steel is not in direct contact with the chamber. Only the polymer coating. The concern with steel was/is that it supposedly doesn't expand as much as brass when fired & doesn't seal well enough against the chamber wall. Gases get around the case and carbon foul the chamber. **If** I were the cartridge designer I would account for this slight expansion difference and maybe size the steel casing a little larger. Of course that might cause all kinds of other issues.
