.460 Rowland cartridge case question.

1
Try saying *that* three times fast ...

Anyway, got an interesting question from someone, who was wondering whether the .460 Rowland cartridge cases were actually thicker/stronger than the .45 ACP cartridge case. This is something I have seen said by other writers, and in fact I have said that it was myself.

But in thinking about it, I decided that maybe that wasn't the case. Er, so to speak. So I did some research, and put up this blog post:

Fair point, and I did think of that ... of course, today's the weekend, and I wouldn't expect to be able to get an answer ...

Or, to be honest, I might just drive over sometime and have a chat with the people there - the plant is only about an hour away from me, and I'd enjoy getting a chance to see their production facility.
