[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1951765, member: 2736"] Just another perspective for those that don't agree that there are many advantages to Improving cartridge designs. Improvements are made for many reasons, beside velocity increases. All of the "NEW" cartridges designs are nothing but Improved cartridges. For an example, the 6.5 Creedmoor. is something that a wildcatter would do to get certain benefits for use in a short action by increasing the body to increase the powder and shortening the case to seat bullets longer. Changes in freebore and lead angle were also changed, so it would fill a need. The older cartridges all had shoulder angles of less than 25 o. 0' and some were even down to 8 o 30'. And as modern cartridges were designed, the benefits of the steeper shoulders had already been proven by Wildcatters and most newer cartridges use 20 to 30 degree shoulders. The newest have been designed with 30 to 40 degree shoulders that take advantage of the benefits they offer. So for someone to say that Improved cartridges are worthless and cause problems is uninformed and just not true. As proven by the Newest cartridges. Just like long range hunting has improved the sport, Wildcatters have improved the cartridges. Change is often very slow, but eventually the benefits prove themselves over time. Just saying :) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
