Yes, there is quite a bit of Russian steel cased ammo on the market.
brass
It can be.
Some studies indicate the repeated use (20,000) of steel cased ammo will prematurely wear the barrel on semi auto rifles. The normal user will not see the difference.
DO NOT FIRE WITH MODERN AMMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUST be checked out by a gunsmith.
I just got a High Velocity sling shot yesterday. you buy steel or glass ammo there is a bullet pouch put the ammo there pull the string back and let go.
From what I read, the Colt diamondback is made of steel and should be able to take plus P ammo. To be on the safe side, check with a gun dealer.
You can find lots of ammo for laser rifles (microfusion cells), on dead enclave soldiers. If you run around in Washington D.C., you should find bands of soldiers. Kill them and take their ammo. If you go to the brotherhood of steel citidel, in the armory you can buy ammo from the girl down in the laboratory. Hope this helps.

THey are stamped sheet metal and I would say they are a mild steel. Check it out with a Magnet; if the magnet sticks then it is definitely steel. If it doesn't then that does not stick that it could be an alloy with some iron in it.
For the most part, the steel cased ammunition marketed by Wolf, Brown/Silver/Golden Bear, etc. Keep in mind that Wolf isn't actually the manufacturer, but rather, a marketing companies who obtains the ammo they sell from a number of sources, and not everything they market will be priced so low. Wolf Gold, for instance, is brass cased ammunition made by Prvi Partisan in Serbia, and is considerably more expensive than the steel cased Wolf ammo (such as the Military Classic), which is manufactured at the Tula Cartridge Works in Russia.
Any modern ammo should be fine. Your barrel should indicate whether you can shoot 2 3/4 or 3" shells. You may want to consult a gunsmith to see if you are able to shoot steel shot through your barrel or not.
