If i would have to get steel ammo, whats the best kind?

I saw sgammo had some specially made steel from barnaul. The primer looked brass(it was a gold like color while the rest of the case was steel)

Its tin with a lot of the lacquer on it. I have an AR chambered in x39 and buy Barnaul(Russian military overrun), Monarch (Academy's store brand, made by Barnaul), Red army and tula.

But it really depends on the gun, what type of action, etc etc which one you buy. if its an old sks or ak, any of them should run just fine. AR's in x39 are notoriously finicky. I have to use one of those 4 I listed or I will have problems. The first two are the best for me, Barnaul and Monarch.

Probably 5.56 with those brands would be ok too?

I would assume, but I have no experience with it. Remember, if you buy 1000 rounds and it doesn't work in your gun, your gun is worthless. Check old threads about steel ammo on ar15.com. They are cunt's. But you should be able to find opinions on steel cases through a 556 AR

That's like asking what's the best pack of Ramen.

Once you're down to Ramen level, it doesn't matter.
