If PSA/AAC makes steel cased copper jacket 5.56 NATO, not .223 rem, 55 grain ammo I will buy it over any another ammo out there. I would love to see this in HPBT as well.
My White River Armory AR runs steel case with zero issues. Unlike many others, WRA does not void their excellent warranty for using sc ammo. I got mine at the Indy1500 gunshow where they’ve been for years. I like that I deal with the actual owners and they stand behind everything they make.

I have two ARs, that I built with uppers from two different companies. One happily shoots steel cased ammo with no issues. The other won't cycle it. So, the one only gets brass cased ammo and it's happy. The other one is happy all the time.
My PSA AR eats up steel case all the time! 2A, seriously, thanks for this update! Keep up the awesome work. Hopefully, you get your truck back up and on the road.
My PSA AR loves steel case. It's had mostly steel case since i got it. In my son's BCA it can fit a hair tight but it cycles it fine. He does run mostly brass in that particular one.
Thank you for sharing this information. I wonder if PSA will offer the steel case ammo in “spam cans” someday.
Steel should run fine in ARs but you should lube the chamber so you don’t get a stuck case. If it doesn’t run steel, it doesn’t deserve brass
It's sure about time we had someone big out there looking out for us little people. I'll definitely telling my local FFL to start buying in to keep at the shop. Thanks 2A for the heads up and getting the news out.
Yes, my AR shoots steel case just fine and the money I save doing it buys me 2 uppers.
PSA fanboy here. They have been very good to me. Customer service has been great. Take my money.
The 5.45X39 is probably going to have the biggest impact. My AK, that was lost in a tragic boating accident, was remiss to have to stay in the safe on only be shot a couple of times a year, would have been thrilled. 762 stuff is still available and agree more used, but the 545 is more dire. Regarding steel case out of an AR, YEAH we had to do that through several of the ammo scares. My ARs didn't die. Rather they jumped overboard to try and save my AK.....
So stoked on this news! Thanks
Love AAC ammo. Tried the 77 grain otm and I shot dimes at 100 yards with my DDM4V7 pro with a Primary 2-10. I also run it in my 300 blackout. I’m in of they start sell 7.62x39. Thanks for the video

Man, if PSA made an AS Val and/or VSS Vintorez with a faux suppressor, firing 9x39mm, that would go on my wishlist. Add a PPSh-41 with a legal length barrel (in the shroud) to the wishlist. The 6.5 Grendel AK's they're going to be making sound exciting, too.

I will be ordering a case of 5.45x39 as soon as I can get it. If it tests out in my rifle, I will be ordering more. Once production is ramped up, will PSA be offering a 5.45 barrel for its AR-15s?

My AR'S will run steel but personally I only run it in my AK'S and SKS'S
11:04 - When I first got into ARs in 2015 I only used steel cased bear 223. It worked fine but it definitely had accelerated barrel wear. The Ballistic Advantage barrel was pretty much shot out after about 5000-6000 rounds and the Gastube/block/key were getting badly fouled with a hard rock like residue. Accuracy went from 2.5 inch groups at 100 yards for the first 5000ish rounds to 15 inch groups around 6000 rounds. At the time it was $0.19 a round for steel cased 223 and $0.33 cents a round for for M193 or M855 5.56. So it did save about $750 which was more than enough to replace the barrel, gasblock, gastube, and BCG with like $350 left over. Had about 10-20 failures over that period. Totally worth it if you just wanted to plink and save a bunch. Accuracy wasnt great and reliability had an occasional hickup but you did save quite a bit in the end.
Thank you for this video!

PSA needs to make steel cased 9mm after they get the other calibers out the way. I hope there 545x39 and 762x39 are lacquer coated steel cased rounds. I definitely prefer it over regular steel cased but I ain't picky I will take any available 545x39 ammo being produced. I hate not being able to run my 545x39 aks like I used to beable to

@@mikhailgregovszki7478 I've run thousands and thousands of rounds of lacquer coated ammo thru my aks thru the years. And not once I've had the coating melt off and stick. Even running high round count courses. I've had my aks so hot there smoking and it never has been a issue. But lacquer coated rounds are just as slick as brass cased from my experience. And another reason is usually lacquer coated ammo is military grade and loaded alot hotter than commercial grade plain grey steel rounds. And your guns run alot cleaner with the lacquer coated rounds. Your internals don't get half as dirty as non lacquer coated. It's safe to say the inside of your guns no matter the caliber. You have to clean your gun 3 times more running non lacquer coated compared to laquer coated. Lacquer coated is the way to go in my oppinion. But I've seen people talking crap about it too. But I've never seen it between me and all the people I shoot with
Great info.

Since you're already making the parent case, why not the obvious next progression into 6.5 grendel and 6mm ARC!?!
I've put tons of Tula and Wolf steel .223 through my AR's and only had one stuck case on a new cheap barrel. Polished the chamber and it never happened again. I was surprised to see their price on the steel 7.62x39 is right down around the lowest price stuff you can find on ammoseek, that's a good sign even though it's not in stock. Im sure it'll take quite a while before they are able to keep it in stock regularly with as twitchy as everyone is worrying about shortages and bans and elections and all that happy stuff.

Yeah I'm not sure calling it soviet arms is the best idea. I mean plenty of us will be fine but I also think that may scare some people away. Maybe have two brands? I don't know.... I say just use the same AAC or even PSA brand, the community will spread the word and make it known if it is good stuff.
2A I enjoy watching videos. I have a friend that's from Michigan . Brian and his Mother Judy worked with me . I visited Brian in Hillman , MI. I even helped his father David move back to Hillman from Tyndall. Are you Brian older Brother? Brian owned and operated Benac Outdoors in Tyndall, SD .
From what I understand about steel case and AR's is that its hard on the extractor and they are more likely to get stuck in a dirty chamber. I believe this is one of the features of high end barrels vs standard barrels due to a polished chamber. But I am assuming a standard barrel chamber can also be polished.
Hell yeah there's a massive demand for cheap as possible steel case 7.62x39, 5.45x39, and 7.62x54R. we need as many new imports as we can get and PSA to manufacture it. Once this starts, people will be able to enjoy their hobby again and sales will skyrocket. Who ever delivers will be filthy rich. It would be nice to 7.62x39 .20-.30 cpr, but no more than .50 cpr.
Oh, they partnered with AAC ammo, good stuff.
Great news, and I've been wondering about it. Now, how about finding out a release date on their announced StG-44 reproduction rifles?

Boxer primers, copper jackets......why not make inexpensive brass cased ammo too? Regular old AKs made in Russia are approaching $2000. That will only go up from there. Plus, with boxer primers it can be reloaded. I'm curious to see how inexpensive this steel case stuff will be 👍🙏✌️
If ranges are anything like airsoft fields, the field rules seem to be a result of insurance requirements.
I see what they say on rang fires because I was hog hunting and saw like a tracer like thing happening in low light
Awesome! looking forward to it... I hope and expect it to be a little cheaper than brass cased, but it may not be at the beginning. If I can get a case of 545 for less than 556 ammo that will be super excellent. Then I'm dreaming perhaps but in a year or two the unicorn 939 will be available and maybe slagga will be finishing up their VSS clone. Hey a man can dream. Despite the dream I have 762 both the 39 and 54R guns, and I have a Makarov so i'd be buying that ammo for sure as well.
