[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2124812, member: 5412"] Considering that chamber pressures may reach 40,000 psi, the case be it aluminum or brass, has very little to do with the safety of the gun. Chamber engineering has everything to do with it. Consider shot shells. They are plastic. For marketing purposes only, heavy loads are "high brass", and target/small game loads are low brass. I've loaded magnum loads in total plastic shells. Aluminum, and steel cased ammo is just cheaper for the manufacturer to make. Its not reloadable. [/QUOTE]
