Difference are depend on guns. I wd say if u hv olde gun before 2010 can be a bit problem but will run ok. If u have after 2010 to 2017. No difference and run almost same. 2017 and latter. Does not matter what u run through all guns are made to run steel and almnm but steel vs brass no diffrence except primer and reloadable otion
