I just got to wondering how many here load for a wildcat cartridge and what they might be .
I myself load for the following
22k (easy simple fire form) hornet is in a rifle and rest are shot from contender pistols.
6 tcu (223 case necked to 6mm and fire form)
7tcu (223 case necked to 7mm and fire form)
300 whisper (221 fire ball necked to 30 cal in 2 steps and fire from)
30 herrett (30-30 brass cut down and the shoulder reformed and then fire formed)
357 herrett ( 375 winchester cut down and necked to .35 and then fireformed)

.50 DTC which is a wildcat of BMG (cut down, shoulder reformed and then fireformed). Everything else I reload is conventional.

300/221, 6.5 Grendel, .458 SOCOM

(Marty would be pissed if he heard me say that .458 SOCOM was a wildcat).

I was going to list 458 too, but chose not too. :D

Have you ever been to my shop?
We sure share a lot of things in common.
I see that you ride too.

Yes, I have been to your shop. You cut down my Grendel barrel and helped me put together my 300/221 upper (on a Model 1 Sales barrel).

I've been wanting to bring a Lilja blank and ask you to make me a better 300/221 (I want the gas port in the pistol position), but I know that that takes a lot of time and you've already got enough barrel projects that you're not accepting orders any more.
