[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1665600, member: 2736"] There are other ways to get velocity that are not cartridge related. Combined with the AI process It becomes a real boost to velocity and case life. Improving the case shape and dimensions are good things In many forms of shooting and in certain firearms, But it is "NOT" in many cases so don't think it is the cure all. One of the best examples of this I saw, was when a Weatherby owner wanted a Gun Smith friend to short throat a 30x378 to improve accuracy. Not only did it not improve accuracy, It could not fire Weatherby Factory ammo because it blew the primers every time. So he had to load all ammo for this very expensive rifle to less velocities than many other 30 cal cartridges could achieve. There are many reasons why one should "NOT" AI some cartridges for some uses and firearms. Dangerous game rifles and self defense are two good example. I realy like the efficiency of The Ackley design for certain uses and characteristics, but don't recommend that every cartridge needs to be Improved. In fact many cartridges are designed for a specific use and changing it could have negative consequences. If velocity is the only goal, there are always bigger cartridges in the same caliber that can push a bullet faster but they are normally less efficient and harder on cases and equipment.
