Why can aluminum and steel casings not be used for reloading?

Friday, August 27th, 2010
Max asked:


I’m assuming that brass is flexible, expands and then bounces back to it’s original shape. But if aluminum and steel expand and don’t contract wouldn’t they cause guns to jam more often for example?

Reloading for 400 Astra?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
newell asked:


I own an Astra 400 in 9mm Largo. It was for export to America and was chambered for 9mm Large or .38 Colt. NOT .38 super. Could I load .38 super for this gun, provided I lower the powder charge to .38 Colt levels?
sigh. I said this was a special export version chambered with a compromise chamber for 9mm Largo and .38 Colt Auto. .38 Colt Auto has much lower chamber pressure than .38 super, but identical dimensions.

Reloading still worth it in Canada?

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
frozen asked:


I overheard an employee at a gun shop saying that not many people reload anymore because the materials have become expensive, and it is not really worth it.

I was considering learning how. It would be for my 30-06 which I use in the fall for deer and moose, and maybe for my 410. for which the shells are pretty expensive.

All answers appreciated, but would be good to hear from someone in Canada.
I also live in Ontario..

I don’t really shoot a lot either, mostly during hunting season. I could save more than 1 dollar on 20 by going to Walmart instead of the gun shop!

Do spring airsoft revolvers require the gun to be recocked after every shot?

Saturday, November 8th, 2008
scuderia_ferrari_11387 asked:


As an owner of a spring airsoft pistol I understand that I’m required to recock the pistol after every shot.

Are spring airsoft revolvers the same, or are they “semi auto” in the fact that they can be continuously shot over and over without having to be recocked everytime (because of the nature of a revolver)?

Also, are there moon clips available for airsoft revolvers to make reloading easier?

What happens when the last round in an open-bolt gun (ie Uzi) is expended? Will the bolt lock back or forward?

Saturday, April 19th, 2008
Rookie asked:


I know that in a closed-bolt weapon, the magazine will usually cause the bolt to lock back, making it slightly quicker to reload (since the gun will not have to be charged again). But with an open-bolt gun, will the bolt stay backwards, or is it nessesary to pull the slide backwards after reloading? Or does it vary depending the magazine used? I know that some magazines in closed-bolt weapons will not lock the bolt backwards.

Guns on reloading?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
whalelovers2000 asked:


During the process of loading, firing and re-loading, the firearm experiences several mechanical events that imparts markings to the projectiles and cartridge cases. Discuss what we typically can expect to find after close examination of these items.
