Yes I broke an extractor on my Ar-10 after about 500 rounds of steel case. It's more dirty because steel doesn't expand like brass to seal the chamber. I had a case head rip off leaving the rest of the case in the chamber. It was stuck so bad I had to use a case extractor and I bent over a steel cleaning rod with a hammer. I finally got it out with a heat gun. I think the lacquer coating melted it into the chamber. I never used steel again.
