If you shoot steel, how much do you guys crib your chsmbers?    I shoot a lot of wolf, and scrub mine pretty good every trip.   I don't have many if at all stuck cases.    Just curious if I over do it?     Been years worth btw. Thanks for the input.

I don't change my cleaning routine when I've been shooting a lot of steel cased and I would describe my cleaning as frequent but minimalist. Just a little chamber brushing and a bore snaking is about it for the barrel. I've never had any problems come up

Same.

I've also had no trouble running brass after steel, even after hundreds of rounds. I use BCM extractor springs in my bolts FWIW

A Windham Weaponry AR in 7.62 X 39, a CZ 527 bolt action same caliber.  Using Wolf 123 grain, 'military classic'.  No problems yet.  The Cz is designed for the steel ammo BTW.  Both guns, after the range, I give the chamber a quick scrub using Ballistol and that fancy wire brush.  Push a couple of patches thru the bore and I'm done.

+1 here as well.

I've only had one brass case get stuck after shooting steel, out of thousands upon thousands and thousands of rounds of steel. Clean as normal, there is no magic trick to it
