    The CF doesn't reload small arms ammo and they rarely use any bigger stuff in peace time anyway. Isn't worth the effort or cost. Brass does get recycled, but not reloaded. Think in terms of reloading Lake City brass. First remove the primer crimp. Said crimp cannot be put back in.
    Like Daan Kemp says, in W.W. I (or at any time in war) the logistics would be a nightmare. Just getting enough ammo to the guns through the sea of knee or more deep, viscous, mud(every book about W.W. I I've read mentions the mud and how bad the trenches smelled.) was bad enough. Keeping in mind that it was primarily horse drawn. There were small gauge rail lines built for big battles like Vimy though.

    If you read above you see we aren't even discussing that. The rest you don't seem in touch with. Too bad.
