[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2397469, member: 30902"] In my time here and out in the shooting world I've seen a lot of things initially get labeled as "crazy ideas" turn into some really great ideas that actually took hold. Many of them have to do of course with trying to find a large enough case to put what seems like an insane amount of powder behind a bullet to come up with the next "Super dooper Magnum!". Some of those of course proved to be insane while a few caught hold and have really enriched our hunting and shooting sports, and given people new ways to challenge themselves in ways that didn't exist forty, even 30 years ago, at least not in the broad market. I've found often when I say, "What about doing XYZ, well if I did far enough except for the newest cases I find someone probably already has. I had to laugh because sitting here tonight reading posts it dawned on me I have yet to hear someone propose or say they already have a 6mm-375 Ruger which would probably have a muzzle velocity approaching that of the 220 Swift or 204 Ruger. Now I don't want to own one, I'm not even sure I'd want to shoot one given the opportunity but I'd love to see video of the first coyote killed with one... HA! [/QUOTE]
