Truth.

The .225 Winchester is one of the few “semi-rimmed” cartridges out there.

Winchester in those years (late 1950’s) was trying some crazy stuff. The .284 Winchester is one of the few cartridges with a “rebated rim.”

Weatherby was playing with radiused shoulders. Today the trend seems to be for all new wildcats to have 30 degree shoulders. I suppose eventually we’ll get to caseless and telescoped cartridges.
