Funny you should mention that, as I recall reading that a big incentive to make polymer cases was so that your Khyber Pass type artisans couldn't re-use the scrounged empties, which is common.

I'm curious how similar or different they shoot compared to brass.

Crazy that they can make a polymer strong enough to not disintegrate when that mini nuke goes off

I would be interested to see it survive sitting in a smoking hot chamber and not melt or leave residue that would affect functioning.

Interesting. Hope it works out.

I read an article that it shouldn't be used in guns with fluted chambers. Of course it's 3 years old, they may have since fixed any issues, IDK.

Interesting, Im also curious how the cases will hold up to the blasts. I thought these were the polymer tipped bullets at first glance.
