They don't want to sort the steel from the brass. ETA: They will tell you it's for your own good cause it will blow up yer gun.

Could it possibly also be a way of forcing people to buy range ammo?

At least one range I've been to, the owner was very anti-communist firearms.
The easiest way for him to prohibit someone from shooting their AK was to ban steel case ammo. |

My place uses a big-assed magnet to seperate the steel cases (it still has to be sorted by hand to pick out the aluminum cases, dud rounds, mis-fires, shot shells, etc). |

I've never seen a range ban steel cased ammo.

Nearly every range that I have seen this at is confused over the difference between 'steel-cased' rounds and 'steel jacketed' projectiles. I bet if you ask your range monkeys why they forbid 'steel cased' ammo, they will be guilty of confusing the two.
Projectiles that are jacketed with mild steel (most old com bloc ammo) is harder on indoor backstops and slightly more prone to ricochet than their gilding-metal counterparts. Probably 90+% of steel-cased ammo has steel-jacketed projectiles. Some do not, however, and a simple magnet test can seperate them out. Steel cases themselves are no more/less dangerous than their aluminium or brass counterparts and are cheaper to make, not mention, easier to police by dragging around a magnet on a stick. |

God kills a kitten every time you shoot a steel cased round.
Save the kittens. |

I thought we already had TOO many cats in the world! Be Humane to Cats, shoot steel cased/ steel jacketed ammo!
