[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1218978, member: 13110"] Most everything I play with now is because of brass. I've built 29 wildcats (that's all I can remember anyway) and have 2 more in the works. The 2 in the works are a 6.5x68 Imp and a 7-338 Norma Imp. I have 160 rounds of RWS cases for the 6.5x68 Imp, which should last a lifetime as tough as RWS cases are, and I have about 1200 Lapua made 423 Dakota cases to use for the 7-338 Norma Imp and my 30-338 Norma Imp's. I like the Norma Imp. cases because it gives you as good or better than Ultra Mag performance in a 2.5" case length which leaves plenty of room to seat bullets long and fit in a standard magazine length. I'm building the 6.5x68 Imp to run just a hair faster then my 6.5-300wm's and to do away with the belt. I run RWS brass in my 6.5-300wm's too but the lack of sizing in front of the belt is a PITA so I'm trying something different. Like Rich said above: You really need a goal for what your trying to accomplish. If you don't have that it's a lot of time and money flushed. There are tons of people that can help with the design if you ask. [/QUOTE]
