Quenching of steel from high heat has the opposite effect from the same treatment of brass and copper.īearing Surface - that portion of a bullet that contacts the bore of the barrel as it travels from chamber to muzzle. Brass and copper are annealed by fast cooling, usually by quenching, from a heated condition. Used to extend the useful reloading life of brass cartridge case necks by softening them and permitting more reloading operations to be performed before the work hardening effect of the cold, forced reshaping of the resizing operation causes metal fatigue in the neck area and makes the brass case unusable for further reloading.

I did my best to make the list comprehensive, but if I forgot any please feel free to chime in. Over the past few weeks I've compiled a list of common/not so common abbreviations used and I thought it would be a good idea to post them so that the new members to our forum could better orient themselves to the discussions.
Being a newer member myself, I found it sometimes difficult to fully understand what some posts intended due to the frequent use of abbreviations.
