I prefer brass as well, but it's not like I'll avoid shooting steel cased bi-metal rounds. Unless you're a competition shooter there are very few of us that shoot enough rounds to do that much damage. If my son has to put some parts on it later after it's passed down to him we'll consider it pay back!

Also, the value of the brass case is the ability to reload. I don't think you can reload metal cases.

You are correct, you cannot reload steel cases only brass. A brass bullet and steel case would be a good compromise as well.
