Long necks are bad, not good. Yer goin the wrong way with that one. Makeing ammo becomes MUCH more difficult and time consuming as well with no benefits.
I could not disagree with you more.
That is one of the thngs that make this place so great. Fun to banter and wring out differing idea's. Short necks for minimal contact with the bullet (Better accuracy with less contact)and more powder capacity make for a win win in my view. Loading a bullet down into the case shoulder area or case body is no big deal to me and in 90% of the cases even the short necks are long enough for most of the bullets we use. I am getting ready to take a rifle that is now a 7mm Remington Magnum and open up the chamber to either 7mm MAsburn Super or the nearly identical 7mm/300 WinMAg. Both have lots of room for propellant and itty bitty chort necks. LUV em! My wildcat 340 Tyrannosaur is basically a 340 Weatherby with the shoulder blown forward to give more room for more powder and a shorter neck for better accuracy. No problems with bullets coming loose even with the very long 225gr Barnes TTSX slugs either over here or in Africa and up in Alaska. Running those 225gr all copper slugs out at 3100fps with a MILD, accurate load and man alive do it ever put the STOMP on stuff
Completely eviscerated a warthog with it on one trip with a fronal shot and it puts 2000+ pound eland bulls and tough zebra stallions right on thier arse. Faster is almost always better.
Why do you like longer cartridge necks? Or less powder capacities?
