Questions on the new SIG FURY

I just read on the Bulletin about the steel and brass SIG FURY cartridge and case. I searched past threads and found some of the same unanswered questions that I have.

If this new case will be reloadable, what is 80K psi going to do to primers?

What is 80K psi going to do to the throat of a barrel?

At 80K psi, how long is the joint between the two pieces going to last before casehead separation?

does anyone have any insights on this or read any test results on any of these issues?
 
Ive never actually seen them, but I do wonder what you could do with a steel head 308 o_O
 
Back in the early 80s I got some of them with the idea of reducing case volume in a 243. It was good practice in case forming as the 243 is a long way from the '06 basic. My test had some degree of success and it shot OK in hunter class. I eventually had some issues with cases splitting.
I still have some virgin cases left I think, definitely 1 box (5) of belted cases.
