[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2424141, member: 10291"] to the OP’s questio…”Is it worth it? “. I’d have to say yes! Think about how many of the very popular and successful SAAMI cartridges began life as a wildcat! It is the wildcatter that has brought some of the most desirable cartridges to the broad marketplace. I think that there are shooters that fall into one or more general categories of wildcat enthusiasts. Those that are the true innovators/designers, those that are the avid users/hobbyists, and those that don’t necessarily define themselves as a wildcatter of any sort but may find a particular cartridge that happens to strike a nerve, fulfilling a particular need. I’m in the latter category. Two cartridges in particular captured my attention many years ago that have persisted, with my very avid use to this day. Both being fairly basic modifications of an existing cartridge, they were the 6.5x284(284W), and the 6mmAR/Whitely(6.5 Grendle). The former(6.5x284N) has been my most extensively used cartridge for LRH, and the latter(6mmAR) for competition. Both were well worth the trip! [/QUOTE]
