Still, they've got to know the hardest problems they're facing are heat and pressure.

I believe it was the Germans with brass or steel heads and plastic cases. I picked up a few at a range as a curiosity. Too bad I don't know what happened to them. <br /><br />I don't think it was a very successful experiment - heat being the major factor.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-17913117508799417762016-05-10T15:27:12.692-04:002016-05-10T15:27:12.692-04:00That's a good attitude, but I don't see an...That's a good attitude, but I don't see anything particular about this technology. If they <i>mandate</i> it for environmental reasons, or something else they pull out of their "nether regions", they could overwhelm SST's ability to produce it and cause another ammo shortage. <br /><br />The article said it was "<i>the perfect platform to support lead free and frangible projectiles. Lighter bullets demand +P and +P+ loads</i>", so maybe it could be a way to force lead bans and impact bullet casting. That's all I can see. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-78523005401033313432016-05-10T09:23:38.945-04:002016-05-10T09:23:38.945-04:00Any time I see "new technology" in the g...Any time I see "new technology" in the gun world these days I try to look at the angles that might be used by our gun hating federal government. I'm not saying that I see such an application in this in particular... but I am saying to look very closely for something they could use against us. Remember that they have commented that, if you can't control the guns... control the ammo. We have to ask ourselves how a shift from brass cases to these might be used by them. I hate to always be a conspiracy theorist... I hate it even worse that the theories are so often true.

I would have bought one by now except for that behavior.ravennoreply@blogger.com
