Most are real brass, although some is made of steel. Brass is just about the perfect material- when a cartridge fires, the brass expands and locks to the walls of the chamber, containing the pressure of firing. When the pressure drops, the brass casing "relaxes", pulling back away from the chamber walls, permitting it to be withdrawn. Historically, besides brass and steel, cartridge cases have been made that were leather, paper, plastic, and copper.
