If we are all forced to use steel then the cost will come down to be the same or maybe cheaper than lead
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Sorry, just thought you were saying that cartridge makers would lower the price when we started to buy more. 8-)
The "cost" will come down... Not necessarily the price to the consumer....

As I mentioned with the one with the dissolving wad, they heat seal the top of the cartridge to make it water tight.

Would this not make the pressures higher if the crimp is sealed ???????
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Seemingly not. Fired fine though my gun and everyone else shooting there on the day. It was a very light heat seal. Look up Eley VIP Steel for more info.

Hello
One good piece of news 10th Environment Secretary Steve Barclay takes over from Therese Coffey who has just resigned
Lets hope he has a saner view of the proposed ban.

Lets not forget the former lot where accused (and in some ways found guilty) or war crimes... In my eyes it doesn't matter which party they happen to have fallen into. They're all as bad as each other.

Since 1997 I have voted the same way, I write on my ballot paper "no suitable candidate".

Although I can no longer vote as I do not posses acceptable identification, a tory move to disenfranchise people.
