[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 971160, member: 50867"] Oh ... you're apparently referring to cold welding of bullets to cases rather than the actual commercial use of the process. My mistake ... If by "cold welding" you mean galvanic corrosion then yes - it certain as a reality. Brass is a composition of copper and zinc. Depending on the atmosphere, galvanic corrosion can be rapid or slow but eventually there will be a corrosive bonding between bullet and case. [/QUOTE]
