While I don’t generally recommend steel cased ammo, it’s not going to hurt your rifle in limited amounts. If used exclusively however it will reduce the barrel life by about 4,000-5,000 rounds. It is even worse if you fire a bunch of steel cased ammo then fire brass cased right behind it in a dirty chamber.
