[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1304916, member: 99239"] Hello, This would be the first time I think I have read that the 375VM2 being considered the "base line" to other wildcats.....I think the "base line" has generally been the 408CT, more recently it seems the "base line" has moved to the 375CT. The reason you see the "CT" cartridges discussed more than others, especially when comparing other wildcats performance abilities is the availability of brass. Readily available brass will either make or break a wildcat cartridge in regards to gaining popularity aka industry acceptance or remaining a mere "wildcat" cartridge (even if its performance is better than performance of cartridge that has readily available brass). Contrary to popular belief :) .... not all ELR shooters desire to "cut this, neck that, fire form this, swage that, etc etc" Most rather to just handle normal reloading task so they can get on trigger more than getting on press handle. And weapons manufacturers (not custom builders) typically will not put a cartridge into their available chambers list until brass is readily available. Just look how long the 408CT and 375CT have been out WITH readily available brass yet you do not see many production weapons manufacturers offering it. THEIS [/QUOTE]
