Just curious, why not just use the other method to accommodate for the rimmed cartridges instead? Like rotary magazines for example. And there are some firearms that used box magazine with rimmed cartridge through conventional mean (like SVD or Coonan 357). What exactly are you trying to design? I'm super curious. Nevertheless, your idea are so unorthodox and I really like hearing about them! Keep up good work man.
rotary mags exist already but the more ammo you got in the mag, the bigger they gonna be. just look at a shotgun drum mag, you gonna get it. the coonan got a single feed mag, so its half the ammo capacity for the size and the dragunov got a longer cartrige that is easier to feed (its pointy) compare to .357 mag or 12 gauge lets say.
and thats why guns in these flat nose kinda ammo are notoriously annoying to feed from a mag, you really got to make your mag exactly this or that shape or they jam, and the feed lips may also take a beating beacause of the rim
