[QUOTE="Alan Warner, post: 1312097, member: 100752"] Theis: Strictly from a wild catters' perspective here--- I'm not about to ruin all the work and $ it takes to form up conventional brass to the specs I want just to have to replace it after one or two firings from over pressure. Now, that said, I'd surely like to make my "brass' from titanium to better withstand higher operating pressures. Brass being the weakest link, but the easiest to form. I think the Barnard GP would run like a champ at constant pressures near 100,000 psi. That alone would translate to well over 4200 FPS. in my 375/50, maybe more. I think I smell a research grant in the wind... Edit --add additional thoughts You know, brass is nothing more than an accommodation to carry loads into battle. A rifle without the use of brass at all would yield a much more consistent format --but **** inconvenient! Alan [/QUOTE]
