[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2831891, member: 122164"] The military is looking for something that will penetrate the Chinese vests. The Tech of a steel screw-on case head is an old idea from the late '60s. There are some issues that will crop up later on down the road such as metal fatigue on bolts and lug abutments. Short barrel life will be a given, but you can bet that a different metal will be used in the barrels, Bartline has one such new metal that extends barrel life. Bullet coatings may be part of a new way to extend barrel life, reducing the engraving pressures. Another issue that is bound to crop up is the relative strength of various actions, get ready for a shock. There is also new technology on plastic cases to be used in std military ammo, but I have not heard anything about it for a while. The plastic is supposed to give a more uniform case wall thickness and a more consistent grip on the bullet. [/QUOTE]
