[QUOTE="ShadowAviator, post: 2664543, member: 124813"] I was considering making a wildcat in .375 caliber. I know the old rule of thumb was that the neck should be about one caliber length. However, looking at my 375 Raptor, the neck length there is about .270" and I believe the 375 Ruger is around .300". My wildcat will be on the shorter side so I was thinking of copying the 375 raptor's neck length, but was worried that was too short. So would a little over .270 be enough or would it be better to go .300 or maybe even longer? The bullets I am wanting to use are anything from the 235gr Speer to the 270gr LRX. The cartridge OAL will be kept similar to the 308 and 6.5 CM, meaning about 2.825". Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
