[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 2479100, member: 106883"] Vog2 - Howdy ! For something in the 'Swift class w/o the rim, and w/ less case taper, and less overall length; might I suggest..... " .22-35 Remington " . I ran my .22-35 in a bolt rifle. First w/ a 24" SS 1-14 for shooting groundhog w/ Hornady 55 SX bullets. Also shot my .22-35 in a 28" SS 1-8 , to gove me valid 1,000yd capability for either varmint or target application. The .35 Remingotn case is 1.920" lg, or just .008" longer than a .22-250. The newer " .22 Creedmoor " wildcat runs the same 1.920" case lg. .22-35 Remington in the 24" barrel gave me a 510yd kill on a grounghog, when shooting a prototype of Hornday's (then up-coming ) 55 "V"-Max. The .35 Rem cases I have ( Remington brand ) have a .452" rim diam. I shot my .35Remington-based wildcat in a Wichita WBR1375 single shot bolt rifle that featured the stock .308 bolt face. I never had any failures to feed or extra either fired or loaded cartridges. My Wichita is equipped w/ an AR-15 style exrractor. Another wildcat idea: You can use a .22-6mm Remington ( .224 TTH ) die to case form 7 X 64 Brenneke down to .224" calibre. I have formed 7 X 64 down to 6mm final calibre, using a 6.5 X 55 FL die. I have also used a stock 6mm Rem die. *** 7 X 64 has a .470" rim diam. To get the parent brass up-into the die, I use a " perch ", which is made using a shoulder bolt of proper head diam (< .466" diam ) with threads positioned through the primer ram hole in a .308 shell holder. After case cut-off and trim to desired oal: The .224" cal iterration of this wildcat requires a simple inside neck ream and outside neck tur, arrive @ final neck wall thickness and calibre. No custom dies, and no custom reamers required... when you go w/ a rented reamer, or "smith that has the reamer you need. Note: using this wildcatting approach ( standard configuration chamber reamer ) case neck lg is fairly long. Final case oal is thusly a tad longer than a .243Win, but this can easily be offset by seating the bullets deeper in the neck ( if desired ); and making an adjustment to powder charge.
