^After years of stuff getting behind my "safety glass" glasses, sometimes with some really close calls, I decided goggles are the way to go, and not just at the range.Terry said that. He's a slow learner.
I am told that autoloader brass is hotter than manually-ejected brass.Apparently the few seconds between firing and ejection allows heat to be transferred to the chamber with manual ejection. With autoloaders, there's no time for this and the brass is as hot as at the instant of firing.I never tested that. Any comments?Terry, 230RN
One of the problems that's hindered the adoption of plastic case ammo is the fact that metal casings carry away some of the chamber heat upon ejection, plastic casings not so much. Becomes a rather larger issue in full autos.At least that's what I've read, not done the math.
