[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2456948, member: 121205"] As eluded to there are considerations other than all important ballistics and ammo/component available. The newer cartridges exhibit little case taper. This can be an issue under less than idea conditions. Make fun of the older rounds if you must, but feeding, clambering, extraction and ejection are enhanced significantly by some taper. In high temp areas, Africa or Arizona, wet climates like coastal Alaska or again Africa or a dirty chamber combined with a straight case body can spell trouble. I'd suggest an examination of the "entire cartridge." Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
