Reloading and shooting steel.?

I just got my Daewoo K2 in 5.56 and i know they are tough and reliable but how well will it fair with steel rounds. I know shooting brass is better for any gun but what kind of extra wear and tear would i be looking at with shooting steel. Also what about reloading steel. Is it recomended. I would not even be asking this but steel is far cheaper than brass ammo, and i need to save some money.

Answer:

Definitely DO NOT reload steel cases. As far as shooting steel vs brass. Brass will always be better than steel in your gun. Steel is a harder and stronger metal and will wear the firearm quicker than brass.
You can't reload steel cases. I don't really know, but you just can't. If a mild steel case is harder than the chamber and bolt of your firearm, you should have got a better firearm.
It would actually cost you more to reload steel.
