[QUOTE="DLJ6, post: 3082594, member: 90223"] I feel your concerns. I have a series of wildcats that I worked with talented gent to develop based on the 376 Steyr case back in the mid '90s as the case capacities fell in a sweet spot between -06 and Win. mag. cases. At the time, I was thinking someone in addition to Hornady would eventually run brass. We chambered these in barrels for the TC Encore platform in .338, .308 and .264 versions with a single radius shoulder. All proved efficient and very accurate. We also did a 25-284 with a radius shoulder in a Douglas blank that is likely the most accurate barrel I own. Over time I found I prefer to spend less time at the reloading bench and more time at the range. Sub calibers can be a whole new level of frustration and I don't wont elaborate on my 14 Hornet work. Don't get me wrong, I still tinker with a lot of brass but tend to save that for the winter months. I also have loads worked up for a 20BR we did years ago that I have still not fired. Hobby time management can be frustrating but I hope to allocate more time to wildcating when I finally retire in a couple years. [/QUOTE]
