[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 25691, member: 8947"] Nope, any cartridge can be changed or "improved". Just the amount and actual benefits for your trouble will vary. If working with a case that has a lot of taper, improving will be beneficial. Most modern cartridges are already improved so little benefit is seen. Where an improvement can be made is in moving the shoulders forward and shortening the necks. The Gibbs family is a prime example on the 30-06 case. Excellent results but extra work is needed in the case forming. Again, most modern cartridge designs take that into account and shortening these necks may lead to not enough to hold the bullet. Any reamer company (JGS, Clymer, Dave Manson, Pacific Tool Company, etc) will make a reamer to your specs. They usually have lots of different versions already in their files. not much new in this game. Jerry [/QUOTE]
