Not wanting to hijack the other thread about loading steel cases
So I will ask in a new thread
I loaded 45 ACP steel cases years back when I was just starting
As I was given the loaded surplus ammo to shoot
And at he time those were the only 45 cases I had
So I am not saying we can't or shouldn't load the steel cases
BUT
I know brass - brass will work harden
So we aneal rifle cases and IMO that is why some of the time we get splits in pistol brass
But will steel cases work harden ?
And if so , how long will it take ?
