the back thrust directed toward a Contender frame by tapered cartridges versus straight walled cartridges or one of an improved design. The end goal is to choose a cartridge that is less abusive to the frame (especially a G1). I doubt there is any difference in the felt recoil of two cartridges similar in performance but one being tapered and the other straight walled. Just thinking.

Something interesting to chew on. - WB, 2018-03-21, 13:23

    - Even though the "non-tapered" case has little or no push on - RA, 2018-03-21, 14:58
