A term used in the firearm industry by enthusiasts to express their feelings on firearms and ammunition choice. Steel case ammunition is generally seen as lower quality compared to its brass brethren. This term is used to describe firearms that cannot reliably use the aforementioned steel cased ammunition and needs brass cased ammunition to function properly.
Person 1: "My AR-15 doesn't cycle Steel case ammo right."
Person 2: "Just buy better ammo"
Person 1: "If it doesn't run steel it doesn't deserve brass. I need something that will work no matter what I have."

A cope and excuse for those blindsided by the ammo shortages of 2020, as they did not maintain a good supply of quality ammunition for their rifles, and now must resort to buying steel cased ammo as all the quality brass type have been picked clean.
"If it doesn't run steel it doesn't deserve brass" Doesn't need an example, you know who you are, stop buying bad quality ammunition
