    I bought 1000 steel rounds of Wolf 9mm cheap online but I can not shoot at the range (Rookie mistake) I was planning to go to an outdoor range and shoot them there. I have a XDM 9mm. would shooting these rounds damage my gun?

    thx

    Probably not. It's all I shoot in my AR and if I didn't start reloading it's probably all I'd shoot.

    Depends on the range. A lot of steel case ammo has a mild steel jacketed projectile which some ranges don't allow because it causes premature wear on their backstop, i.e. Freestate. Same rule to steel core ammo.

    I should have stated that it is also steel core, Free state is the one where I found it out :D

    Which ammo is it? It's probably not actually steel core like the M855 penetrator rounds, but steel jacketed and copper washed/plated. It's kind of semantics but kind of not.
