SAAMI certifies first composite case

[WildRose]

The reloading or the initial production?

And I wonder if that was simply because it was new.....a brand new concept will cost more because of the initial r&d and production cost, as well as being the first on the market with an interesting product......I wonder if it will come down, or if they have the patent on it so no one else can enter the market.......that would suck, but is also likely......

As far as I know they are non reloadable and take special proprietary machines to eve make the factory ammo.

A friend who was an infantry grunt in Vietnam told me that he would carry 1200 rounds into a firefight, and borrow ammo from his fallen comrades. Another friend that was in Fallujah said they were carrying 120 lbs. into combat. Lighter is better.

I recall back in the 80's they developed caseless ammo

The current Military consumption of ammo has been stated to be 1.6Billion rounds/year. It's understandable that they would be looking for a more efficient solution, and Companies would be highly driven to participate.

You California reloaders better keep quiet about this development. If your state politicians get wind of this, they'll mandate it for all ammo sold in the state, "to protect the environment and wildlife from brass contamination."

I am pretty sure brass causes cancer and birth defects in lab rats in California.
