Mr. Howell,
<br>
<br> Under "Custom Rifles & Wildcats" we briefly discussed the 260 Imp, 40deg shoulder. The point was brought up that Steve Timm claims "improving" a cartridge to a 40 deg. shoulder and/or minimum body taper reduces bolt thrust. This is one of the points Timm brings out in the July 2001 issue of The Varmint Hunter in an article on the 260 Imp. That article did not include an explanation for the reduction of bolt thrust.
<br>
<br> Would you care to explain Timm's reasoning? Do you agree the bolt thrust is reduced with the Imp case?
<br>
<br>
<br>Thanks for your time.
