the value is really in the copper jacket of the Federal ammo. It's just softer and won't destroy the barrel as fast. If a manufacturer could do a copper jacket bullet and a steel case then perhaps that could be a nice, slightly cheaper, ammo?

Also, the value of the brass case is the ability to reload. I don't think you can reload metal cases.
