[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 1788261, member: 2469"] I ran across this page on Dave Lauck's webpage, D&L Sports, about making ammunition more durable. I found the included post by John Farnam to be especially interesting. [url]http://www.dlsports.com/pistol-ammo-more-durable.html[/url] Here's just a selection from Farnam's post. When you load and unload the same round multiple times, at least two bad things are going to happen: 1) From repeated contact with the feed-ramp, rounds will eventually experience "bullet set-back." This phenomenon can usually be detected during close examination of the individual cartridge in question. 2) From repeated impacts with the bolt-face, the primer "pellet" within the primer-cup can fracture and subsequently become dislodged. Unlike the above, this phenomenon is not at all discernable via external inspection! [/QUOTE]
