[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1954466, member: 2736"] It would be nice if all the manufactures made all of the popular Improved cartridges. But as stated, cost would probably kill many good cartridges. Also all Improved cartridges are Not the classic AI cartridges. There are many other things that can be improved in a cartridge. The number of changes are almost unlimited and very personal to a few shooters for specific reasons. If it was not for the hot Rodder you would probably still be driving the family car with less than 50 horsepower instead of 400 + and gas mileage would still be in the neighborhood of 10 miles to the gallon. So in comparison, the wildcatter has been a great influence in the design of cartridges just like the hot rodder has to engines. Factories do not even try to keep up with all of these want's and probably shouldn't for the sake of the masses. most only wan't to sale rifles and only want to make changes that separate them from the competition. Three or fore of the basic changes seem to be there limit and they pass on many other improvements that could further improve the performance. With much though and planning, fire forming can be simple and trouble free and can sometimes be advantageous in the beginning for accuracy and case life. (Some wildcats limit case growth to less than factory growth upon first firing) and subsequent firings. Many times if done right, they will have better accuracy than the parent cartridge and chamber would. It is also to bad that some countries don't allow wildcats, because there is no downside to better performance. It is just political and no real reason for these kind of rules. Sorry if you live in one of these countries with no possibility of innovation to look forward to. :( Wildcatting and improving cartridge performance Is not for everyone. but it does benefit all.
