Clearly just turning a steel or graphite solid expansion cone is either
low expansion ratio or not flight weight.
If its a simple long tubular solid the expansion cone is going to have
to be bigger than the case diameter....
Looking at professional vacuum stage solids one sees carbon carbon
expansion bells and fuel geometries that aren't the simple tubular
solids that typify the amateur solid...
