And to that end, why not a .25, .30, .35 variation on the theme? We may be re-inventing the wheel here, but I posit that that the cycle of history may well have come around to where the reasons for the demise of Everlasting cases/reloadable without tools heel bullet designs, etc. are no longer valid. I betcha that a lot more people would take up experimentation with handloading if they weren't faced with a staggering amount of equipment choices and voodoo espoused by we who practice the art. What I'm saying is the KISS Principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) of the system we are talking about here may be an avenue by which the average Joe can dip his toes in the water of reloading. (Never forget that we handloaders remain in the distinct minority of shooters.)

Carry it far enough forward where such practices could generate powerful enough loads/cartridges sufficient for the once a year deer hunter to seriously consider it as an option.
