Nope, I've just spent years independently studying cartridge mechanics and designs, burn rates, shoulder angles and flame patterns, along with case design efficiency and how the designs affect burn pattern and gas flow. Knowing all this stuff will help you be able to know in your mind, virtually how a cartridge will perform without ever bringing it to reality...But in reality, there are external factors that affect performance, so there is no way to truly know exactly how a cartridge will perform until it is produced...But you can get a really good idea if you do the math.oh sorry i misunderstood ...the way you were talking about how the 280 Sherman eliminates the gap on the 7mag with the heavy bullets I thought you had all the stuff personally have shot them side by side! My bad ill see what i can get going
I know how the Shermans are designed, and that they are an excellent design, because I designed nearly the exact same cartridge as Rich Sherman did, without knowing he had already designed it first. So, after posting up a picture of it here on the forum, and after finding out how similar they were, he and I discussed it (which he was ok with it, being that it was coincidence), but out of professional courtesy I chose to delete my designs, because I like being an original, and Rich had already had some reamers cut and such, so out of respect for him, I dropped my designs.
And if you don't believe that story, maybe he'll chime-in and verify it.
