[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1031333, member: 2460"] Lets see here, got 7 going for now ..... Got a couple going and a few coming .... two still secret ..... I've mentioned some of these in other threads 7mm Long Range Hunter reamer is in, rifle under construction 8mm Long Range Hunter reamer is in production ... both of these are off the 338 Norma Mag case maxed out .... 460 Zeus reamer is in, waiting on barrel and gun parts ... parent case is the 416 Barret maxed out, necked up & beats the 460 Steyr case capacity in a shorter length .... thems high bc Lehighs gonna thump some at LR got a couple mini wildcats I've been considering in doing for several years now and finally ordered up the reamers .... The 6.5 Wolf Killer and 243 Coyote Killer wildcats are off the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser , maxed out case dimensions and 35 degree shoulders... ballistically similar to the 6.5-284 Norma and 6-284 cartridges ... The build is on a Tikka T3 in a Manners Elite Hunter stock with 5 round extended factory mags.. The 6.5mm reamer is set up to load 140 gr Berger Hybrids kissing the rifling with base of bullet bottoming out at base of neck without impacting case capacity Forming the 6.5 Wolf Killer is easy, open case necks with 7mm-08 fl die then size down neck in 6.5 Swede fl die for headspace and fireform ..... The 243 Coyote Killer is simply a necked down 6.5 Wolf Killer...., use 243 Win fl die to neck down new 6.5 Swede brass for headspace and fireform ..... reamer is set up for the 105 gr Berger Hybrids kissing the rifling while seated to base of neck .. Factory Redding 6.5 Swede dies will be converted to bushing dies for these wildcats .. My Tikka T3 Light stainless in 6.5X55 Swedish Mauser will get rechambered to the 6.5 Wolf Killer and used for fireforming brass and load developement, will be simple enough as 6.5-284 Norma load data can be used, excellent quality Lapua brass is available and is almost half the price of 6.5-284 brass ... Have 6.5mm & 6mm Bartlein barrels for the project and waiting on reamers ... **** Disclaimer **** Hahaha ! These two wildcats are not intended to compete with any existing same cal. cartridges, just something I wanted to do for a light carry rifle that will double as a snowmobile, showshoe, cross country ski wolf hunting and goat, sheep hunting rifle .... Happy New Year everybody !!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
