I remember in the Army seeing an old training film about cartridges.  It stated that the neck down cartridge was invented by a man named White.  He sold the patten to two compaines, Winchester and Smith&Wesson.  Winchester said they would not make a pistol using this technology and Smith & Wesson said they would'nt make a rifle using it.  White then went into the refrigeration business (White Westinghouse?).  Anybody know if there is any truth to this or is just a Gun Myth.

 

Thanks,
