[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1858277, member: 91402"] An old time gunsmith once told me the thickness of the brass is only part of the story, the quality is just as important. Some brass flexes better than others. I don't know the metallurgy, and I assume modern quality standards are better now, but a few manufacturers used to be known for brass that became brittle after a few loadings. I haven't heard so much about this in recent years but at one time it was talked about. Hopefully it's not an issue any longer. [/QUOTE]
