The only reason the Auto Rim cartridge exists id because of the Colt 1909 and S&W 1917 DA revolvers chambered in .45ACP of the early 20th century. The .45ACP revolvers utilized half or full moon cartridge clips to facilitate headspacing for the rimless .45ACP rounds in the revolver chambers. the Auto rim cartridge allows one to shoot these revolvers without the use of such clips

The latest caliber or gear is no substitute for experience and skill. Rifles and cartridges don't make hits -- shooters do. Fact of life: After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!
