I humbly agree with all of the above, and while on the subject.....Ken, how's the book coming? I need something to tide me over for recovery in a few weeks, you know, something light... [Linked Image]

Hey Digital

I've read some of McPherson's work regarding hemispherical case shoulders on his SMC^2(I think) cartridges, and it is the only work I am aware of that is directed at improving efficiency via case shape. He seems to have some success at this, but for the most part a case is just a gasket, shape has no influence. Wonder where I read that..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


Hey DigitalDan,

Isn't that true? The case is nothing but a gasket; the weak link of the entire system and the only thing standing between your face and a great deal of very hot gas.

I've often referred to the case as a gasket in articles and I believe Ken has, as well. Too few folks think of the case in this way but darn it, it's true.
