really weird chambers

Early experimental versions of the 9 mm cartridge had a slight bottle neck.

My theory is the step was to accomodate the bottle neck and they didn't bother to change it after going to a straight tapered cartridge.

I don't think my theory is worth a plugged nickel.

On the other hand a tapered reamer would be no great trick, so I don't think it would really be easier to make a stepped chamber.
