Composite 155-mm. Munition

The British have tested an all composite 155mm munition. The obvious advantage is weight, the round weighs 30kg instead of 40 kg, which could also translate into greater range, though one would it only expect to be used for specialized rounds (submunitions, etc), as the fragmentation of the steel casing is where much of the lethality comes from the standard round.
