[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 1787784, member: 106883"] JSH - Howdy, again! And....Merry Christmas to you & yours! My wildcat .22-35 Remington has the same 1.920” case oal that the ‘Creedmoor operates with, although the .22-35 pre-dates the Creedmoor by 3+ decades. .22-35 also has similar case capacity. The fore-shortened .224TTH wildcat using that reamer run-in short also has similar case capacity to a notional Creedmoor. Case capacity comparisons using H2O can be a bit misleading, as capacity is typically measured w/ case filled to the case’ mouth. In reality.... case’ necks are often occupied fully by the seated bullet; especially in medium capacity cartridges utilizing heavier VLD bullets. So.... comparing useable powder space to base of neck can perhaps give a more realistic comparison. The .224TTH - based wildcat is a tad longer in case oal than a .243 Win. That’s no biggy for someone shooting a single shot bolt action varmint rifle, but .....might be unattractive for a competitive shooter using a magazine-fed rifle. I shoot a 6mm wildcat I call “ DEEP 6”, which has a chamber cut by running a 6mm Remington reamer in short; for a .466” base diam. This method of wildcatting has allowed me to develope wildcats w/ useful case capacity, w/o having to $$$ custom case forming and reloading dies.... and w/o having to $$$ custom, reamers ! DEEP 6 case capacity is 51.2gr H2O.....owing to that long VLD-friendly neck. With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
