Don't mix steel and brass cased ammo. Generally avoid steel cased ammo if possible, especially in your nice POF415. Steel and Brass expand differently. Brass will expand in your chamber and create a good seal so that all the pressure is directed forward, then contract back to normal size after firing. Steel will expand a little (not as much) and so some dirt, hot gas, and other junk from the ammo will get blown back into your action and make a mess of your pretty POF415. Steel will not contract after the heat and pressure is gone, so stuck cases or more serious failures (especially if your chamber is dirty from firing lots of steel-cased ammo) are more likely. Mixing steel and brass is a no-no because the combination of their metal properties is really hard on your chamber, barrel, and action.

Don't mind Jim, he is a little crotchety without his meds. Learning to use the search function will keep him at bay and you will find that almost every gun-related topic has already been posted about and starting a new thread is not always appropriate.
