What Wildcat is best and what all copper bullet should I use and who is the best custom Rifle Builder to use?
Insufficient information to make sound advice. Provide as much pertinent information as possible to yield a better result from members' recommendations instead of being all over. This will help narrow down your choices for your personal preferences and intended purpose. Also, "best" is very subjective.What Wildcat is best and what all copper bullet should I use and who is the best custom Rifle Builder to use?
That crossed my mind, esp. with his sig line.I think someone is just stirring the pot
Would you provide a little more information on this wildcat cartridge that you'd like to build. What do you intend to use this wildcat cartridge for (hunting/target/long-range), distance being you plan to shoot? What caliber interests you? What are your reloading capabilities? What does your budget look like? There are a lot of variables that go into building a wildcat cartridge. There ought to be a lot of research put into a wildcat build as well. Comparing ballistics with factory/SAAMI cartridges included. For me it doesn't make sense to build a wildcat cartridge only to find that there's a SAAMI cartridge that is very close to the wildcat cartridge. In today's market with the heavy for caliber bullets on the market, barrel twist is another variable that one ought to consider when doing the build. You will find a lot of good information on this forum and a lot of good folks who will help steer you in the right direction; but…it's important that you know what you intend to use this rifle for. As for copper bullets there's more options out there than anyone could imagine!! Again you have to do your research before you can decide what to build. Also keep in mind the expense/s involved in equipment to help reloading this wildcat cartridge; a good press, trimmer, neck turner, annealing process, COAL measuring equipment to name a few pieces of equipment.What Wildcat is best and what all copper bullet should I use and who is the best custom Rifle Builder to use?
That pic reminded me of the.240 ryne a friend had years ago.Given your parameters (none) I must say the Ackley .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer is the correct answer but if you don't want that, then the 17 incinerator or it's improved version is pretty good.

I'd hate to see barrel life in that 17 incinerator improved.That pic reminded me of the.240 ryne a friend had years ago.
24 caliber bullet on a 7mm Mag case. 100 rounds and the barrel was toast.
The Illudium PU 36 may be a touch easier on barrels but I think even Marvin would have appreciated the 17 incinerator Improved.Given your parameters (none) I must say the Ackley .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer is the correct answer but if you don't want that, then the 17 incinerator or it's improved version is pretty good.
