[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 656625, member: 2736"] I feel your pain and agree that if a reamer is changed it should reflect the changes by renaming it. Wildcats sometime come with problems if not considered before going into this area. But in many cases they come with improvements (Like case life). I have never been a big fan of wildcats because of the added issues but sometime they fit a niche that factory cartriges cant. Most of the time however there is a factory round that will do the same thing or even best the wildcat because of so many new powders that are available. I have found many wildcats that have been modified slightly that could cause problems if not addressed. (The 280 AI is one example of the latest). In response to the case growth on some cartriges, the less body taper and greater shoulder Angles will help minimize this but at the same time they may cause greater extraction effort, so there is no free ride. The reason I like the Kilbourne K Hornet it the body taper ( Taper/inch is less than.011/inch) also the 35o shoulder is a good compromise over the 40o AI on such a small case. The only real issue with any of the K hornets is that with some brands of brass that have not been annealed after final sizing may split on firing. With any wildcat there is always a learning curve.
