I don't think I'd agree that combustible-case is 'essentially caseless'. It gives up
some of the benefits associated with cased rounds, but also retains some (particularly, protection of the propellant and some breach sealing) at the expense of giving up some of the benefits of entirely caseless ammo (notably, eliminating ejected casings entirely).
