	My take is that it's the friction of the course BP, at the cannelure, that causes it and the straight taper of the Schuetzen has less of that.

	Compressing the powder charge in the 32-40 stops the case separations. Don't make sense to me but it works. Frank, in my experiments the cannelure made no difference. Cases without broke just as often. Had many case separate below the cannelure.

	I only used the nickle plated John Wayne cases so, all mine had cannelures and never compressed my loads, other than what it took to put a 1/16 LDPE wad in the case. Later I used 30 Americans, that didn't have a cannelure and never separated any of those. I also went to my 32/35, with both Fed 30/30 and 30 American cases and never separated and of those, again using LDPE wads. The 32/35 was also about 4 points, per target better than the 32/40. Maybe it just depends on how far North you live

	I shoot German schuetzen rifles, therefore I am partial to 8.15x46r. I do have one that was rechambered for 303 that shoots very well. I have never shot any of the 32 Millers or any of the other specialty cartridges, so I can’t speak to them. Mike

That's the gist of an article written by Steve Garbe on the subject a few years back. I think he also might have mentioned using thicker "everlasting" style cases, but that probably takes away a fair bit of case capacity. Chris.

Yes, while struggling with broken cases in a 32-40 at Butte, Steve told me about compressing the powder charge. Unfortunately I had no way of doing so at the match. Broke a lot of cases those two days. What constitutes a perfect Schuetzen cartridge does not include BP. I never read the article. Were factory 32-40 powder charges compressed back in the day?

	Joe, maybe our different results, was because I always shot duplex loads. Did you shot the BP matches in Springfield? They were duplex rules.

	I always used duplex back then. Cases started pulling in half when I started using straight Swiss.

	I am at a loss to understand these reported case failures. My 32-40 schuetzen rifle has fired around 16,000 shots out of the original 200 cases, and the only cases that were "lost" were the ones that were stepped-on or mislaid or otherwise got away. No failures. CHRIS

	Actually, in this case Chris got no breaks at all. Bill Lawrence

	I was looking at the new .360 Buck Hammer which is a straight wall tapered 1.79” (30-30 parent case) as a potential project. It’s about .200 longer than the .357 maximum which was going to be my original choice and .300 shorter than the .38-55 which was my second choice.
