The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Brass case more accurate the aluminum case??

I'm finding it very difficult to believe that the aluminum could cause significant variations in accuracy over brass. Given identical bullets and charges, equivalent priming compounds, I believe that the brass rounds might show a very, very small margin of better accuracy when a few thousand rounds have been tested under controlled circumstances.

I don't believe that aluminum offers the same level of bullet pull, and I think that the force needed to set the bullet into flight will be consistent compared to brass.

Any big deviations are attributable other variables.
