[QUOTE="Yorkplates, post: 62972, member: 3575"] I don't think I'm asking the question correctly. There is 'no' rifle to be built as far as this question is concerned. I'm not making a decision on what to use the rifle for because there simply isn't one. I just want to know what is involved with ordering a rifle barrel from a custom maker for wildcat cartridges or proprietary cartridges. For example, a .257 Roberts might share the same bore with the .257 Weatherby or 257 Allen Mag, but the casing is NOT the same. I would assume in a popular wildcat like a 30-378 you would let the barrel maker know that you need a .30 cal bore chambered for a 30-378 WBY casing or just that you're needing this certain length, contour, grade, etc. barrel in 30-378. I wanted to know, if it was a unique round, what was involved in getting it chambered properly. Hypothetically, if I created a interesting "BrannonSwift" cartridge at home with a certain basic bullet diameter like a 6mm or 7mm bullet and used a much larger casing necked down or maybe even shortened. where do I go from there? I hear wording like "a certain casing has been 'blown-out'and necked-down to take such and such bullet." Won't the barrel maker need some sort of schematic to make the proper chamber width and length? Some even have a die set for their new rounds. I was just curious what all was involved. There is no rifle purpose choice that I'm dealing with. Fifty, I have the rifle I want you to work on and know what I'm going to do. I'm still gathering the funds to have everything done that I want done. I'm just intrigued by the fact that you basically created your own round and just wondered how you can translate a new round into a new barrel for it. Or, heck, even the whole rifle. Didn't you say you provided a die set or could supply a die set for your new round? Did you make them or do you simply submit the numbers to a die maker that are in accordance to your new round. Am I making sense yet? [/QUOTE]
