[QUOTE="rifletuner, post: 746471, member: 26"] I like the "improved" versions of the 300 Wby a lot. There are quite a lot of tweaked 300 Wby cases out there, often with very minor differences, eg the 308 Baer, 300 Ackley, 300 Hart, etc, etc. These cartridges can be very accurate too, and have held a lot of long range records over the years (see [url=http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2007/11/winning-cartridges-in-the-1000-yard-game/]Winning 1000-Yard Cartridges « Daily Bulletin[/url] as an example). I have done a lot of hunting with one version, and it worked very well for me, but there are down sides. Cases need to be fire formed, so that can get cumbersome and impacts on barrel life. The case designs vary somewhat, so you need to look at the dimensions to ensure you match the sizing die to the chambering reamer for best effect - this is true of any case chambering, but much more of an issue with wildcats. Dies sets are limited production, so are often more expensive than dies for SAMI cartridges. In the past I have experimented a LOT with wildcats, but am much more inclined to use a standardised chamber as they are usually a lot cheaper to buy, easier to find, and easier to sell on in the future. Today its rare that a wildcat offers any significant performance over a standardised case. [/QUOTE]
