[QUOTE="Whelen Man, post: 299493, member: 32"] I haven't looked at that particular cartridge, but I suspect that the ogive on the new bullet is very long to get somewhat better downrange ballistics and that results in a long bullet nose which has to be seated deeper. The portion of the bullet where the cannalure is probably farther back and with this being a tubular magazine gun it must be crimped for safety. Their only resort to get a streamlined bullet and a crimp in the cannalure was to shorten the case. Bullet length didn't cause it, but bullet nose length did. The smaller calibers wouldn't have had so pronounced a nose length increase. I can see where this could cause some problems to the unwary if one suddenly took cases and loaded them with old loads seated to the cannalure without measuring the cases. Suddenly you have a smaller case capacity and boom. Of course everyone should always measure and trim cases, but people do things. [/QUOTE]
