[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 771225, member: 13833"] I read back through all the posts and want to make a couple of corrections. For any of you who have messed around with creating a wildcat, you know that CHANGES happen:D. First of all, the body length will actually be between the Lapua and Creedmore. The case length is slightly longer than the creedmoor because of the much longer neck. (.320" vs .260"). This will not make the coal longer as the throat is reamed to match the length from the BASE of the neck. This loaded round should fit in any std. box with a 140 Berger seated to the lands. Earlier I stated that I would be ordering dies from Hornady but I didn't like the waiting period. I checked with Redding and they were a YEAR out! The good news, John Wooden will make me a set of micrometer dies in 6 weeks:D........Rich [/QUOTE]
