The first references to the possible use of polymers in the manufacture of casings come from the early 1950s. One of the earliest is the patent filed by Jack W. Roske in 1950 [1] and the idea was to use a metal cup joined with a polymer shell "that will be converted to gas during the firing phase to assist in propelling the projectile and thereby permit reduction in the use of the propelling ...
The .460 Rowland / 11.43×24mm is a rimless, straight walled handgun cartridge designed in 1997 [1] by Johnny Rowland and developed in conjunction with Clark Custom Guns as a derivative of the .45 ACP [2] with the goal of producing a cartridge which can achieve true .44 Magnum [3] ballistic performance and be fired from a semi-automatic platform.
This case has no belt, unlike many other magnum cartridges, which can be desirable for handloading because of possible problems with case head separation with repeated reloading of belted magnum cartridges. The rimless design also contributes to smooth feeding from the box magazine of bolt-action rifles.
Caseless ammunition (CL), [1] or caseless cartridge, is a configuration of weapon-cartridge that eliminates the cartridge case that typically holds the primer, propellant and projectile together as a unit. Instead, the propellant and primer are fitted to the projectile in another way so that a cartridge case is not needed, for example inside or ...

ICL cartridges are wildcats based on conventional cases in use at the time. They feature a 45 degree shoulder [ 3 ] and the sides are straightened out compared to the parent cartridge. Most of the cartridges are considered improved cartridges since they simply create more powder space while maintaining the same caliber as the parent cartridge.
