So yeah...plastic shell casings.

When I saw the article my first reaction was "WTF?"
But after reading it...it's interesting if nothing else
They say the plastic casing reduces heat transfer to the power so you are less likely to get a cook off.
Also they are lighter so you can carry more, though I can't imagine it's that big of a difference as the powder and projectile is the same.
I feel like you could break a shell easier though if you had a misfeed or something
I dunno...I can wrap my brain around this
Thoughts?
