Just finished the Reloading class tonight so I know enough to ask a question.
In general, pistol powder burns faster than rifle powder, and they warn you not to use pistol powder in rifle cartridges.
I have a 9mm upper for my AR. What about pistol rounds being used in a 9mm AR upper? Is this a concern, or did the manufacturer hopefully take this into account when the rifle upper was designed?
I guess this also applies to old west style guns like a Winchester lever action and a revolver. They both use 45LC. Is this a concern? I guess it must not be because I don't recall hearing stories about cowboys blowing up there rifles using the same ammo.
Looking for opinions.
Thanks.
