If making casings try to stick with a material that is softer then what barrel of firearm is made out off.
Had some nickel plated casings for my .45 and a little spec of nickel came off and got dragged through barrel by the bullet
Scored the barrel pretty bad.
If for rifle try to stuck with brass. Brass will let you know when loads are getting to hot(to much powder) look for a lighter ring of brass near base of shell means to much powder. If you hand load steel casings to hot take the chance of it blowing up in your face
