FORCING CONES

[edgarspencer]

Dean, I'm not certain that answers any of my questions. I'm not actually sure I even understand what you said. My questions are based on my assumption that the manufacturers stated cartridge length is the Opened length of the hull.
Also, there some point between the beginning and ending diameters of the forcing cone that matches the internal diameter of the hull (wad diameter)

Based on those hang tags, I believe we may never know the answers to Edgar's questions. One could surmise from the earlier period tags...but that would just be speculation without any corroborating evidence.

These are incredibly interesting questions, but as someone who cannot by any measure be considered "knowledgeable," I'll stick to quantum physics and sleep better at night. In the meantime, I'll use the milder, shorter shells, enjoy my shooting, and continue to follow discussions like this with great interest.

Thanks for bringing this up!
