“Brass as an alloy has several characteristics which make it well suited to use in cartridge cases. Its tensile strength is high enough to withstand the gas pressures generated in rifle cases when properly supported by the chamber and bolt, and yet it can be formed by extrusion, milling, and stamping for economical fabrication.”
