Other than one minor point, Moonduck has it nailed. (Sorry, but I have to disagree on this one)

Moonduck mentioned theat steel cases are a no-no. In most precision tolerance firearms (ie new, non-military style firearms from major manufacturers) steel cases are not good. In military-style rifles (Ak's, SKS, mini-14 etc.) steel cased are ok. They were designed to looser tolerances and so steel cases are such a problem. However, I hesitate to include civilian models of the AR family. The civilian models are generally built to tighter tolerances than is normal for military style rifles.

I persoanlly don't hesitate to feed steel cases through my Mini-14. (Wolf brand ammo for anyone familiar.) In fact, Wolf ammo has better performance than most other cheap ammo. Because of the steel cases they can push more powder into it, and get more power. The only issue I have with the stuff, is it isn't clean. If I put 40 rounds through my gun, it must be cleaned. However, that is more from the design of the firearm than dirty ammo. But that's another thread.
