[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1110740, member: 10291"] I agree with the principles of the short, fat case, and sharp shoulder contributing to accuracy. I'm curious about the concept of flame point. It certainly seems to make sense that a flame point directed inside the neck as opposed to the throat would give less erosion of the throat and therefor greater barrel life. I'm interested in how flame point location is actually determined. Is it empirically determined, or speculated based on observation? Does powder volume, burn rate, pressure, or any other variables besides case design effect the location of the flame point for a given case design? [/QUOTE]
