[QUOTE="scpaul, post: 2829352, member: 76393"] I've only built 1 wildcat but this 78 has been such a good weapon since I bought it used I'm guessing in 1980/81. We had just moved into a new apartment complex so I've had it longer than what I originally thought. Anyway, I've never found anything that it wouldn't shoot minute of small deer. It went through testing the original X-Bullets by a novice, me. It's a miracle that I didn't blow it and myself up back then. Most people weren't aware just how much more pressure we were generating even with conservative loads from other brand bullet recipe books. It survived and continued to shoot moa or better. One of my main concern is getting the paint to break loose. It's been camo painted so many times that I had to whittle the paint off of the bolt to get it to function easily. I painted it the day before we left and found out when we arrived. Im really looking forward to assembling a small caliber rifle, i've always been a mid to larger caliber person and have picked bone out so that i could use the affected meat for hamburger and sausage. I've gone on long enough, I'm bored, can you tell? Have a good one, Paul [/QUOTE]
