DIY heat treating

I agree Bob. A lot of people shoot a lot of Wolf and have zero problems. Consider that the US Ordnance made some 30 carbine steel case and it was used for everything but combat says a lot.. I look at steel cased 45 made by Chrysler during the war and it is basically a shortened 30-06 case, robust, not flexible just like the regular brass cases. That's why you don't ever trim 45 cases, they never grow. Now 30 Carbine is a whole different kettle of fish. Long, thin, easy to dent and distort. A case that is easy to stick in a chamber. Soviet weapons get away with steel cases because they are rimmed and tapered, the Germans used mild steel because they had to make it work, varnished and with a short shelf life.
