[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1212130, member: 7999"] For me it is a little different. If I have to run factory ammo in my rifle then it is no longer custom. The ammo means as much to me as the rifle, maybe even more. I may be a bit different than the next guy since I make the bullets as well as the custom ammo. If I have to run factory ammo in my custom rifle then my custom rifle just became no better than any other off the shelf rifle. I think pretty much all of us can say that we have more time and effort invested into getting our rifles to shoot our own ammo than we have into putting our rifles together. Unless you are the smith that made your rifle. So in my mind it would not be much different than borrowing another rifle. So IMHO if the OP wants to have a wildcat built I don't think he should let the lack of factory ammo stop him. Wildrose, I think you had said in a different thread what ammo you had fail but I can't remember. I don't want to take this thread off into the weeds but I would like to hear about your experience. If you could start another thread or direct me to one that you already did. Steve [/QUOTE]
