[QUOTE="panayoti, post: 3976009, member: 428"] There a guy named P.O. Ackley that did a lot of experimenting documented it in several books. Interesting reading. You still run across rifles chambered for Ackley improved. The popular ones were std calibers with the shoulder angle changed for more powder capacity and other benefits. The beauty of this approach is using std cases and fire forming the brass. You buy a reamer to change the chamber dimensions of a std rifle. 280 Remington Ackley Improved was popular. 44 mag started as a wildcat by Elmer Kieth. [/QUOTE]
