cogitating on this concept.
Recall my earlier post of a used older TC Contender with a Super 14 barrel in 35 Remington.
I compared the 35 Remington and other rounds in the 35 caliber family. According to what has been posted Gary's 355 GNR is pushing a 180 grain bullet at 2300 and a 200 grain at 2200+ out of a 12 inch barrel. I am going to assume that a 14 inch barrel will gain maybe 50 to possibly 100 feet per second in velocity.
This puts the round in league with the old 356 Winchester rifle. I recall when this round came out with the 30 Winchester it was touted as better than sliced bread.
I am thinking this would be a great medium and possibly large game round. Not too hand punishing but powerful enough for deer, bear, antelope, wild hog and possibly push it in the elk and moose class.

Something interesting to chew on.

I am rethinking some stuff, so to speak.

WB, I think the test was to demonstrate...

Even though the "non-tapered" case has little or no push on
