[QUOTE="firefighter1990, post: 390012, member: 23630"] the real "major" difference between any of the rounds created by rocky gibbs and those of po ackley, besides geometry, is the ignition system. all of rocky gibbs' round were centered around "frontal ignition." rocky would put a tube from the flash-hole to about 3/4 of the way up the hull to dispatch the spark to the front end of the round. this proved to induce a more complete burn of the powder and in turn more performance. one can still alter gibbs hulls in such a manor (as nothing like that is avialable anywhere). but none the less, gibbs rounds still perform and outperfom just with the traditional form of ignition as we know today, but just to inform, the frontal ignition system put rocky's round even more out in front of all other conventional designs.
