    brass vs. steel case

    I thought saw a thread about this but couldn't find it. If someone knows it's whereabouts please past this link there and delete.

    Anyway, I saw this stress test10,000 rounds 4 different guns and 4 different ammo types. Thought some mightbe interested in looking over the data.

    That was a good test with great info. I'm betting the barrels would have lived considerably longer if they had been allowed to cool more.

      I saw that awhile ago. Was well done for amateurs. Very informative.

            Interesting, but what we really need is a test of 6.5 Grendel brass vs steel case ammo...
