Interesting. What's the advantage of a conventional brass case with a steel base? https://www.thefirearmblog.com...ation-squad-weapons/ | ||

Less of the more expensive brass is used. In addition, for containing chamber pressure when the cartridge fires, the head is the most critical part. A steel case head might be able to handle higher pressures than brass. I believe there was some mention of the cartridge’s being able to produce higher velocities, and the steel head may have something to do with that. FWIW, there are a couple of recent similar threads. Yours is the first with a decent description of the “hybrid” case, though. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...0601935/m/1680094064 https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...0601935/m/9160088064 “ One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. … Against stupidity we are defenseless. … [R]easons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed … and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside ….” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer | |||
