Talk:Season cracking

Regarding the following phrase: "high levels of residual stress produced by forming the barrels of the cartridges."

In some contexts, the term "cartridge barrel" can be used without confusion, for example when talking about caulking guns or hypodermic syringes, but not in the context of firearms cartridges. This is because the word "barrel" has a specific meaning in the context of firearms, namely the tube through which the projectile is launched, and is part of the firearm itself, not the cartridge.

The reference cited has no mention of "cartridge barrel" and I can find no instance of this wording in the context of firearms cartridges, so I changed the wording to:

"high levels of residual stress produced by forming the necks of the cartridges." DrHenley (talk) 16:52, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
