While I won't be shooting steel case primarily, I won't shy away from it if that's the cheapest thing on the shelf.

Mick, what are your thoughts on 11.5" vs 12.5"?
Don't know how that happened, it's the bullet not steel case through the bbl. Privi Partisan has decent bullets. The wolf, while not a consistent product, doesn't appear to have bullets of lower quality. MMM looks like i'm going to pull some apart and look at a few bullets.
