Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, but with the DGR update I'm trying to classify the type of cone like the Heileman's Old Style 177-13. Apparently it is not unique as the Supplement now includes an ABC (designated as 150-00) with the same type of cone. So what is it called? Does it have a designation? I was thinking SP (squat profile) or MP (minimum profile). Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any information and suggestions. And as a reminder, I am still seeking input for the DGR update.

My vote is for Minimum profile.

I like it!

Since it's so similar to the Pabst Snap Cap, Maybe Snap Cap.? LEON.

My favorite suggestion so far!

Any pictures available so the unknowing visual masses can see what you are talking about?
Thanks

That looks like a modified version of the can prototype Smoller posted in the members section. I vote no profile.

Good eye Scott. While the Smoller's prototype is KEGLINED and has a 5-toothed seam, these are by Continental so perhaps American Can Co. thought this idea had merit.

I looked up the 2 cans above in the USBC Supplement page of the BCCA website and both are identical to common LP variations ( right down to the seams and can code information of their respective LP counterparts.)
The ABC is: C. C. CO. 32 PAT. APPL'D FOR

The Heileman's is: C. C. CO. 4-11-B PAT. APPL'D FOR (no IRTP on the can but we know the sheets were used with standard LP cones after the FBIR too)

I always wondered about that Old Style in the book, how tough is it? I have never seen one for sale anywhere.
