[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1331671, member: 27307"] Actually, it has to do with the transition of a solid into plasma. Plasma is one of the states of matter; solid, liquid, gas and plasma. When the powder is ignited by the primer, a superhot gas or plasma is created. The radiuses in the shoulder allow that plasma to transition smoothly into the neck to propel the bullet down the barrel. The velocity of that plasma is increased by that smoothness in the transition. The angular shoulder is more abrupt in the transition of the plasma but much easier to form during the making of cases. I'm sure there's a science geek who can add many more details to this. [/QUOTE]
