Yeah, also, if the cartridge is rimmed (like shotgun shells), that tends to require some fair bit of curve.

For instance, the 7.62x54r round is both tapered AND rimmed, so the magazines tend to be very curvy, pic related.

Shotgun shells have no taper, but a big rim, hence magazines tend to be somewhat curvy, but also kind of, "leaned" forward.
