Hybrid steel/nickle for reloading. Lighter, Stronger, Faster for your speeding bullet. Like the cases for the 7mm Backcountry?

Can I reload NAS³ rifle cases?
" No, Shell Tech’s rifle cases are precision-engineered, military-grade ammunition cases and are not designed to be reloaded. Reloading these cases can compromise their performance and safety, so we do not recommend or support reloading them."

Honestly I don't think I really want more speed than what is typical of brass. Magnums never appealed to me, more velocity yes, more energy, but that means more recoil and barrel wear. This is from the perspective of someone who doesn't have to shoot long range though, I do see how this could be useful under the right circumstances.

Then I have to wonder about twist rate for accuracy. Can I accurately shoot slower brass cartridge and the faster hybrid cartridge from the same barrel?

Military grade? Military grade just means it must meet the minimum requirements usually military grade is worse than commercial grade.
