Aluminum cased ammo?
We are hearing that some ammunition manufactures are ditching the brass casing in favor of aluminum. At the outset this sounds interesting. Fully loaded magazines are lighter, aluminum is cheaper to come by. The government has yet to try and ban aluminum cases. A few things we have yet to hear, aluminum is a obviously aluminum a softer metal then brass. So can it withstand the abuse that the brass ammo can? Can it stay useable years after it is manufactured? A big one, is it re-loadable? Would it make the ammunition cheaper to manufacture and thus cheaper to sell? Hence less expensive to the end user? If the answer to the above questions is yes then we are all for it. However we are not metallurgists here so we can not answer these questions. If you the reader can answer any or all of these questions please reply and let us all know.
