[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2724828, member: 124909"] Seems like a phishing question. With all those questions a wildcat might not be the right thing to do. Ammo makers and shooters seem to reinvent the wheel a lot these days. Perhaps it’s the it’s new so it must be better philosophy of today that drives this. The problem is new ain’t always better. Bullets and propellants have come a long way. But they don’t just benefit the new calibers. They help the old ones just the same. There are some mighty good cartridges that have been in the game for a mighty long time. Plus some new cartridges are quite expensive and at times very scarce. Take the 6.5 Creedmore for instance. It isn’t expensive and is efficient to reload. It is a very good cartridge and accurate. But marketing and even word of mouth info can really mislead a lot of people. Many of my customers (hunters that 300 yards is equivalent to the other side of the planet) are floored to learn that the old 270 will actually outperform the Creedmore at their hunting ranges with energy on target is still very effective and well mannered significantly downloaded. The 6.5 CM is not as flat as a laser beam and doesn’t have the power of an Abrams Tank. What it is is an accurate, light recoiling, well mannered caliber that allows you to shoot high BC bullets, which most hunters have very little understanding of, and let’s you play more efficiently at longer range. Ammunition is also readily available. But it is not the be all end all of rifle cartridges. My first consideration for a wildcat would be ”How available is brass and how many hoops do I have to jump through to make it work”. Unfortunately your questions leave out way to much information. So anything from the 17 incinerator above or my personal favorite: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Image result for what was the name of Marvin the martians gun"]431523[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]431523[/ATTACH] Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. That should cover about every need [/QUOTE]
