What happens when you take a 30-06 Springfield cartridge and neck it down to .270?? You get a new cartridge called the 270 Winchester, both great cartridges with different uses. Now imagine taking a 20mm Vulcan case and necking it down to 14.9mm. Put a super aerodynamic bullet in it and you have a new Ultra Long Range cartridge. That is the heart of the 14.9 SOP, to reach out past 2000 yards for interdiction of targets beyond the range of existing rifle systems.

I thought that's what the other poster was referring to - but it's always good to have the DU meaning as well...
