    Sherman Wildcat Reloading Data is Here!!!

    You should have no problem getting that speed. I reached over 3000 with a 180 Hy with a compressed load at 64 (I think} 26" barrel

    Sherman Wildcat Reloading Data is Here!!!

    Retumbo is on the slow end for the SS but will do ok with a CASE FULL with 180+

    Have action need cartridge

    300 or 338 Mega are hi performance, more efficient rounds at that length and also loose less velocity in shorter barrels than higher capacity magnums.

    6.5 Sherman and US 869?

    I don't remember for sure, but I think about 68 grains and it was likely compressed, although its pretty dense!

    6.5 Sherman and US 869?

    I think I tried some years ago and even though I couldn't reach max pressure, it still ran pretty well.

    7mm sherman max

    I think Hornady PRC brass holds about the same as The MEGA with ADG.

    7mm sherman max

    Ive measured all the Sherman fired cases. I cant speak to the others. I think the 72.7 for the SS was the old chamber. The B chamber is right at 72. The Max is 77 and the MEGA is 84. thats H20 level at .005 trim.

    7mm sherman max

    I would agree with the exception that the SS is about 72, the Max at 77, and the saum closer to 73

    What is the most overbore cartridge YOU HAVE USED?

    One of my clients built a 22 Max. I don't remember what bullet he was running, but it was smoking fast. Thats about a 75 grain capacity 22!

    Sherman Wildcats sold?

    Hi Steve.....Thx for the good wishes! Yes, the new .470 case will begin as a 7mm and will no doubt be offered in the smaller bores as well. Watch for data coming from Derek, the new owner on what it is and what it does.
