[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2134695, member: 307"] I have six rifles that are "factory chamberings"; a .222 Rem, .223 Rem, 6mmBR Norma, .270 Win., 7mmRemMag & .300WinMag. The 6BR and .300WM are pre-fit barrels that I put on (Shilen & PacNor, respectively) and with the .300 I used a Ryan Mantha reamer to extend the leade/throat a bit. This allows me to shoot the 212/215gn bullets without having to shove them down into the powder column of the case. Kinda the same principle that Hornady uses with all the "new" cartridges they're "designing". Either way all of these can shoot off the shelf boo-lets. The only one that would fit into the wildcat category would be my .270 Allen Magnum. It is a fantastic cartridge, slightly overbore, but a hoot to shoot. With 169.5 Wildcats or 170gn Berger bullets at 3450fps, the 270 Allen Magnum offers legit +1200 yard range on medium to heavy deer species. I wonder what Jack O’Connor would think. [/QUOTE]
