[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 2419704, member: 106883"] Wolf - Howdy ! For groundhogs and target work, I used to shoot my " .22-35 Remington " wildcat. This gave me the basically the case capacity of a notional " .22 Creedmoor ", but decades earlier. These days, I shoot my wildcat " DEEP 6 ", which has a chamber cut by running a 6mm Remington reamer in " short "; for a nominal .466" base diam. This wildcat gives me case capacity very close to that of a 6 Creemoor, with a long VLD-friendly neck lg. I use 7 X 64 Brenneke as the parent brass, and I have had no trouble in obtaining these cases ( Norma, LR primed ).. My rifle has a Wichita WBR1375 single shot benchrest action, 2oz Jewell, Broughton 29" SS 1-8 " 5C rifled " Palma taper barrel. I made the " stock " myself, using a 36" aluminum "I" beam oriented as an " H " cross section. I floated the action, and use a " plumber's clamp " to secure the barrel to the aluminum beam; via use a torque plate borrowed from a " U " bolt..... and 4 carriage bolts w/ lock nuts. I used pieces of 5qtr composite deck boards to fashion the rifle's flat fore end.... and seperate rear butt stock. I re-formed a galvanized condiut hanger into an " L " shape, for the trigger guard. With regards, 357Mag I mounted a Ken Farrell 20moa scope base along w/ Ken's 1" 4-screw rings. Scope on the rifle is Weaver T-36XR that I have fitted w/ a 2.5X " optical booster ". [/QUOTE]
