Anyone shoot steel or aluminum cased .38 special ammo?
If so, what are the pros and cons of each?
Thanks.

Very early CCI Blazer, circa 1980 , had problems with extraction from lever action rifles . Not pressure related , but rather with the coating on the cases . The problem was fixed with the first year, and the aluminum cased Blazer has been fine ever since . Except for the non- reloadable thing .
No personal experience with the steel case Tula , so I checked with the usually reliable sources .
Other than the usual categorical hating of steel ammo , no reports of any issues with the .38spl . The .357 did have reports of severe cylinder binding, and stuck cases .
