the alloying elements in the brass (zinc) %age wise contribute a lot to the strength. military arsenal brass before ww2 lacked a lot in durability, some countries even used soft steel to make cases, notably russkis.
fired some 85 yr old Frankfort ammo sunday...
stamped F/A 32..........from an already opened battle pack i've had for 25 yrs.....still have 3 unopened.
was unbelievably accurate at 25 yards, BUT all 3 rounds split the brass.
i'll upload a photo when I load it into the puter from my phone.
