What is the BHN of their bullets, what is the alloy composition and what the load data was for the extensive testing that they performed that enabled them to qualify such a statement. I know quite a few first rate extremely knowledgeable casters and none of them would ever make such a statement.
I've got tired of typing out the whole story of bore/throat dimensions, bullet hardness, obturation, etc. Go to the LINK and get educated. As previously stated ;the hardness of a cast bullet is only a small part of the story.
