iirc, those steel cases are lacquered too and the lacquer can build up in the chamber and cause failure to eject also...

They don’t use lacquer any more.

As the article stated, “...it is NOT caused by a “lacquer coating” cooking off and leaving its residue in the chamber. If you don’t believe me, get a spent shell and hit it with a blowtorch. Nothing’s coming off of that sucker. If you’ve bought your ammo in the past few years, it doesn’t even have lacquer on it.”

The older green stuff was lacquer coated. The newer gray stuff isn’t.

Your screen name is hilarious.
