I've heard in the past about steel cased ammo with it's naturally harder properties being harder on chambers than brass (maybe match chambers?).

I shoot wolf all day in my AR and with it's sporting chamber I've never really given it any thought. Is it unwise to shoot steel in a certain type of chamber or action?

Any input would be appreciated.

It might be a factor if the cases were bare steel, but they're not.

Some are copper-washed while others are lacquered. So the steel on steel contact is minimized, if not eliminated.
