EDIT: Nice gun, btw.

brass is what typically ammo cases are made out of. Some companies use a very soft steel, which is acceptable but is not reloadable due to the properties of steel and i believe the primers they use are not removable. I believe some companies use aluminum cases, these too are not reloadable to my knowledge.

Brass is by for the most desirable, it can be reused time and time again and is soft but strong (not harmful on the gun, but very safe).

And just for kicks and giggles:

BRASS


STEEL with polymer coating


ALUMINUM
