1. A polymeric ammunition casing comprising: a cylindrical hollow body defining an internal cavity formed at least partially of a polymeric material, the cylindrical hollow body further defining a longitudinal axis and having a primer end and a projectile end, wherein the body is formed of a body portion proximal to the primer end and a neck portion proximal to the projectile end, and wherein the diameter of the cylindrical hollow body tapers such that the diameter of the body portion is larger than the diameter of the neck portion; andwherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion of the polymeric ammunition casing is extended such that the overall length of the casing body is at least 0.003 inches greater than a maximum longitudinal length standard for an ammunition casing of identical caliber as set by at least one ammunition standards organization selected from the group consisting of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute and the Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives. 2. The ammunition casing of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion is elongated such that the polymeric ammunition casing exceeds a maximum longitudinal length standard for an ammunition casing of comparable caliber as set by at least one ammunition standards organization by at least 0.020 inches. 3. The ammunition casing of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion is elongated such that the polymeric ammunition casing exceeds a maximum longitudinal length standard for an ammunition casing of comparable caliber as set by at least one ammunition standards organization by from at 0.050 inches. 4. The ammunition casing of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion of the polymeric ammunition casing is elongated such that, when the ammunition casing is disposed within a firing chamber, the neck portion of the ammunition casing extends into the free bore portion of a firing chamber, but does not extend into the caliber-size portion of the firing chamber. 5. The ammunition casing of claim 1, wherein the ammunition casing has a caliber selected from the group of .22, .22-250, .223, .243, .25-06, .264, .270, .277, .300, .30-30, .30-40, 30.06, .303, .308, .357, .38, .40, .44, .45, .45-70, .50BMG, 5.45 mm, 5.56 mm, 6.5 mm, 6.8 mm, 7 mm, 7.62 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 12.7 mm, 14.5 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, and 40 mm. 6. The ammunition casing of claim 1, wherein at least the neck portion and a portion of the body portion are formed of a polymeric material. 7. The ammunition casing of claim 1, wherein the polymeric material is selected from the group consisting of siloxane-modified Bisphenol-A polycarbonates, polycarbonates containing biphenyl linkages, and polyphenylsulfones. 8. The ammunition casing of claim 1, further comprising a cylindrical strip of a polymeric material disposed within the internal cavity of the ammunition casing along at least a portion of the neck portion of said ammunition casing. 9. The ammunition casing of claim 8, wherein the cylindrical strip of polymeric material overlaps at least the portion of the neck portion of the ammunition casing that engages the cannelure of a projectile. 10. The ammunition casing of claim 8, wherein the cylindrical strip is formed of the same polymeric material as the ammunition casing. 11. A polymeric ammunition casing comprising: a cylindrical hollow body defining an internal cavity formed at least partially of a polymeric material, the cylindrical hollow body further defining a longitudinal axis and having a primer end and a projectile end, wherein the body is formed of a body portion proximal to the primer end and a neck portion proximal to the projectile end, and wherein the diameter of the cylindrical hollow body tapers such that the diameter of the body portion is larger than the diameter of the neck portion;wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion of the polymeric ammunition casing is extended such that the overall length of the casing body is at least 0.003 inches greater than a maximum longitudinal length standard for an ammunition casing of identical caliber as set by at least one ammunition standards organization selected from the group consisting of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute and the Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives; andfurther comprising a cylindrical strip of a polymeric material disposed within the internal cavity of the ammunition casing along at least the portion of the neck portion of said ammunition casing that engages the cannelure of a projectile. 12. The ammunition casing of claim 11, wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion is elongated such that the polymeric ammunition casing exceeds a maximum longitudinal length standard for an ammunition casing of comparable caliber as set by at least one ammunition standards organization by at least 0.020 inches. 13. The ammunition casing of claim 11, wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion is elongated such that the polymeric ammunition casing exceeds a maximum longitudinal length standard for an ammunition casing of comparable caliber as set by at least one ammunition standards organization by from at 0.050 inches. 14. The ammunition casing of claim 11, wherein the longitudinal length of the neck portion of the polymeric ammunition casing is elongated such that, when the ammunition casing is disposed within a firing chamber, the neck portion of the ammunition casing extends into the free bore portion of a firing chamber, but does not extend into the caliber-size portion of the firing chamber. 15. The ammunition casing of claim 11, wherein the ammunition casing has a caliber selected from the group of .22, .22-250, .223, .243, .25-06, .264, .270, .277, .300, .30-30, .30-40, 30.06, .303, .308, .357, .38, .40, .44, .45, .45-70, .50 BMG, 5.45 mm, 5.56 mm, 6.5 mm, 6.8 mm, 7 mm, 7.62 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 12.7 mm, 14.5 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, and 40 mm.
