What is the deal with steel casings. I was in Walmart last night and they had a rollback on 9mm steel casing rounds. I know my local range doesn't permit steel casings. Is there any downside?
Dirtier, can't be reloaded, bimetal jacket usually can cause damage to steel Target, spark ingiting powder residue, or damage backstops

The case won't. It's the make up of the bullet found in many steel cases the bi metal bullet make up can, not saying it will. Most damage to steel Target is via rifle ammuniton being bi metal. Lead mushroom and framents. Bimetal does not always do thatHow could the casing have any effect on the barrel ?
The only reason I know of why ranges don't allow steel case is because they're worried about steel core bullets which damage backstops. So to be safe (lazy imo) they just ban anything (bullet wise) that's magnetic. Sounds like they took it even a step further though, banning ANYTHING magnetic.
And never heard of them damaging steel targets. Logic would suggest if that were the case then outdoor ranges with steel targets would ban them too, which, as far as I know, none do. It's all about concern for the rubber? backstops indoor ranges use.
I bought 2000 rounds of steel cased 5.56 ammo years ago. It has sat for all these years. Once the Arsenal SLR106 comes in, that ammo will have found a home.
For the record, I don't use steel cased ammo in my handguns.
A simple magnet would do that. So I doubr it has to do with the difficulty... Could be laziness thoughI always figured these places didn't feel like separating the steel and aluminum cases from the brass ones

Shhhhh, the confiscation police are watching!
Machine Gun Nest is the one indoor range I know of that allows steel case ammo.
Yes, they know the difference between steel CASE and steel BULLETS
