[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 2680705, member: 106883"] Wolf - Howdy ! If you cut the neck & shoulder area off of a 7 X 64 Brenneke case, you'd have a straight walled (tapered side wall ) case 2.0028" lg, that is .308 bolt face compatible. Figuring around .012" thick case sidewalls for the wildcat + .429" bullet diam would equate to a .453" nominal case OD @ the case mouth; as formed. 7 X 64 Brenneke runs around .466" base OD. You could simply set the chamber cut to around .455" OD @ the case mouth ( allows for case OD clearance @ the seated bullet area ), and accept the minimal amount of case taper that results; which is around .011" . A 6PPC has .010" case taper, as an example. Might be possible to use a 7 X 64 chamber reamer followed by a .44" cal throater; to cut the chamber in a .44" cal barrel ? The reamer's pilot bushing would need to be removable, so that a notional .44" cal bushing could be installed for cutting the wildcat's chamber. With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
