I for one, cannot see why a barrel would split or solder joints come loose from shooting an undersized bullet that produces less pressure and obviously less hoop-stress than a normal jacketed bullet.

Doesent anyone wonder why it is undersized, could it be that its so hard that the pressure rises to high passing thru the rifling otherwise. And the cannalures are there bequarse of what, perhaps that they need to be there as the metal wont compress to fit the rifling?

And also if the pressure is lover at peak doesent mean that the pressure is lower all the way thru the barrel.
