[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2050336, member: 109994"] I am wondering what people's thoughts are on this interesting cartridge. From what I understand it's basically a short action .30-06! I have a little bit of money at the moment and it's burning a hole in my pocket. I've been thinking of either rebarreling my Tikka, getting a dedicated hunting gun (either Barrett fieldcraft or a Sako), or getting a fancy stocked walnut gloss blued rifle. So, I'm wondering about people's experiences with this wildcat! I know qualcart makes brass, so it's nice I won't have to fireform, etc. The main draw to me is being able to load longer heavies in my Tikka and still fit the mag, while matching the '06 performance and possibly having a touch less recoil. If I went this route, I think I'd be looking at a bartlein, brux, hart, lilja, or benchmark. How easy it is to load for? Does it's performance match the .30-06 through the same range of bullet weighs or does it fall short with the heavier bullets (200gr)? Am I going to have a hard time finding someone that has this reamer or finding a prefit? [/QUOTE]
