    For this exact reason here just like any business, if they can't make any money from it they want to have nothing to do with it.
    I have shot many of rds of steel & alluminum cased ammo through everything i have ever owned at 1 time or another zero issues along the way.
    Not saying i have shot thousands of rds through each but i have used steel cased ammo.
    Have used more alluminum than steel over the yrs when the price is right you take full advantage of that.
    When i do go to a range i pre load all my mags at home so when i get in my lane its go time & if there is steel, alluminum or brass they get it all.

    We have a local indoor range that will not allow steel-core ammo as they use a Savage Range system which is a nautilus type structure that slows the bullets; They say the steel can penetrate or severely damage the recovery system. The indoor club I belong to has banned its use because the back stop is Armor Plate from a ship held at an angle of about 45*; the steel cored stuff has caused damage to the back stop. A friend of mines is a certified structural welder, he was able to fill the voids in the backstop. Another club I belong to has no steel backstop only berm and they don't care what you shoot. I have a bunch of steel core 7.62x25 Polish and Bulgarian ammo, it works great in the satellite designed pistols.
