BINGO! First one out of the chute... I guess that was too easy for this crowd, eh?  I just added the .50BMG to my (cartridge) collection last week and was struck by the similarity in proportion to the .30-06. Here they are relative to one another:  |

| Try comparing a 40 mm Bofors round with the .22 Hornet. Except for size they are nearly identical.

So what does that say for cartridge "design"? Just find something that works and scale up or down, right? (or neck up/neck down...)  |

| If I am not mistaken, you can compare a .222 Rem, 7x57 Mauser, .30-06, and a 50 BMG to get the same result. |

| That was John Brownings style. If it ain't broke don't fix it. The BMG is case and point. www.KLStottlemyer.comDeport the Homeless and Give the Illegals citizenship. AT LEAST THE ILLEGALS WILL WORK |
