Steel-cased cartridges can be coated in lacquer or polymer. These materials are very resistant to rust and offer more corrosion resistance than steel alone. This makes steel case ammo more ideal for long term storage if you are a prepper.

Can SIG shoot +P ammo?

Can I use +P or +P+? +P Ammo manufactured to SAAMI/CIP/NATO specs is fine to use as a defensive round or for occasional range use. Continual use of this round will make it necessary for more frequent service on the pistol. We do NOT recommend the use of any +P+ round.

This build up can cause stuck cases. Sometimes these cases will stick so severely that it is difficult to remove them even with a cleaning rod.
