I wouldn't. If it's set up properly you're not going to be able to close the bolt. If it's set up too loose you risk case head seperations. Besides, you're not going to reload it anyway. I would recommend using brass cases only.

I would not even consider it. Steel will not strech like brass and I`m sure it would split every case. I have even seen where it is recomanded not to shoot steel case ammo in american guns as they can damage the chambers when fired in the correct chambers.
