[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1106535, member: 41338"] No personal experience but a sharp shoulder (which does not aid feeding), a case that's not to long in relation to the caliber diameter so your powder column doesn't burn to the top irregularly and a case neck that isn't to short so it provides enough, but not to much surface tension for a consistent grip tension on the bullet. I'm not all together sure why a sharp shoulder is suppose to help but it might promote a more uniform burn through the powder column if you mitigate the narrow area at the top of the case. Of course that theory goes to heck on non-compressed loads if the powder is laying on the bottom of the case. [/QUOTE]
