Wolf - Barnaul - Golden Tiger - Brown Bear and many others use steel cases for making cartridges, are those steel cases annealed in order to make them soft and/or pliable like brass cases are?Are steel cases used for ammo annealed?
based on what Ive seen out of a Mini 14 I dont think the cases are annealed. I get mouth spilts a few cases out of of 100
As dirty as the chamers of my guns get with the cheap steel case I thing the case neck doesnt expand like soft brass or annealed steel would either.Are steel cases used for ammo annealed?
I have no definitive answer, although i have often wondered this myself, a star for your question!
I can only assume that they anneal, or use a mild alloy in cartridge cases in order to keep them soft.
I hope someone answers this who knows for sure.
I don't believe they are for the simple reason that you cannot reload a steel case. They are strictly shoot and discard. If they were annealed to keep them softer it seems that you would be able to reload them at least once.
