bottleneck cartridges - different form, different performance?

A general question concerning bottlenecked ammunition: Is there any correlation between the form of a bottleneck cartridge and its performance? What I mean is when you have a cartridge of one given caliber and internal volume, you could either make it long and slim (like, say, a .22 wmr), or slightly bottlenecked (like a .223) or quite fat on the bottom (like 6mm PPC). A last possible variation would be conical, of course.

Would there be any difference in terms of the internal ballistics and performance or is it merely a matter of sizing / mag feeding etc.?
