The steep shoulder slows down brass flow so that= longer brass life. Also confined burning gasses in the case longer and that helped powder consumption

Longer necks, projectile doesn't take up powder space, also doesn't look like hell

That's pretty much how I read it, I would copy and paste it but I can't. I can screen shot it though if you want or send you the pdf file @Gibo

I found the tapered case bit interesting, I would have thought the tapered case would extract easier

The tapered case part makes no sense....

I thought I'd write it out wrong, should have screen shot it like this instead

Neither dose the longer neck bit, maybe only a tad longer in a sweede case but not in a 260 case.But who cares AI cases look badassss!!!
