[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1858746, member: 2736"] In my case the reason to wild cat is to fill a blank space in the performance that doesn't exist with traditional cartridges. One of my wildcats Was a 416 that fell between the 416 Remington and the Rigby and the 416 Weatherby. The gap filled was 2400 ft/sec with a 400 grain bullet. to 2900 ft/sec with the Weatherby The 416 Buff produces 2700 ft/sec with the 400 grain bullet. Another advantage was that the Buff works on a standard magnum bolt face and a 700 Remington action instead of needing a Mark 5 action or equal. There will always be something faster or more powerful but chasing these reasons for wild catting is not very rewarding in my opinion. The best reason I can think of is that a person just wants something different. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
