From a pure engineering perspective, I wouldn't think so. The chamber is there to hold the pressures, not the brass.

No
If the brass goes thats when you get blow ups
Thanks! Now I know.

I am going fishing now after 3 hours changing a fuel filter on the Pootrol.
Missed - 3 hrs? 20 minutes on my Patrol . . . .
Yep and used to take 10 mins max on the old one .The bloody plastic fittings on the fuel return broke inside the fuel hose then the dam stupid boat type fuel primer does not work so I could not prime it up to bleed the filter out which by the way has no air bleeder attachment. :twisted: All this after having had 3 hrs sleep. :twisted:

I drop 'em in water, but only because I was told to by someone who had been shooting longer than me.

But it seems to work.........
