I've used steel, brass and aluminum cased ammo. Never had a problem with any of them. I've been shooting a lot of aluminum CCI lately for the price as I don't reload.
mine likes fiocchi, speer, American eagle (federal), hornady
I stay away from pmc, norinco, and Winchester (white box) not the guns preference just maybe a superstition I could have.
Maybe someone with more experience could comment about Sellier & Bellot, wolf, Barnaul and cci blazer?

steel cased ammo could be harsh on your extractor lip especially on German old models (c/w internal extractor)
iv had my P226 for 8 years and ran everything through it.i had 1 stove pipe in the first hundred rounds and have never had once since. I have ran thousands and it will run anything i putt in it .
cheers smart purchase they go bang every time you pull the trigger .
Most of the commercial ammo I shoot is Sellier & Bellot. Fired thousands of it with my various Sigs. Never had an issue and pretty accurate
Also fired 1000's of Wolf reload without problems
The only ammo I had some issue was Winchester white box, and I know it was the ammo
In the Sig P226 I had, lead bullets were horrible, the barrel woiuld lead up very quickly, worse than any other pistol I ever owned. The range I shot at when I owned it required reduced loads with lead bullets only due to backstop issues/concerns, the same load worked great in many other 9mm's including Glocks. My guess would be a rough bore in the Sig.
