Steel-cased 9mm range and target ammunition isn’t scarce at all. It is currently pouring out of the nation of Turkey, where it is manufactured by Turac!
If you’re familiar with Russia’s economical steel-cased ammunition, then you already know what to expect of Turac’s Sterling label ammo. As you can plainly tell from the photo, these cartridges have steel cases. The upshot to that is all in the price tag. The cost of raw steel is much lower than that of raw brass. You directly benefit from that metallurgical reality when you invest in steel-cased ammo. Sure, steel cases cause dirtier overall performance. Sure, steel cases aren’t reloadable, either. But that doesn’t change the fact that they are cheaper.
NONcorrosive Boxer primers in those steel, cases, too.
This ammo’s cases aren’t its only components that attract a magnet. Its FMJs also contain steel in their jackets, so you may not be able to fire them at every gun range that you would have liked to visit.
Turac reports this round’s muzzle velocity at 1,115 to 1,180 fps. We averaged the two figures below. Turac also reports max chamber pressure at 34,085 – about 0.5% lower than SAAMI spec, which simply means it’s not overpressure by American standards.
