I would still pick the bullet out first and decide on the velocity then chose the smallest case that would make it happen.
Some wildcats like the Ackley Improved versions are very easy to make. Some that are just necked down seem easy to make but may require neck turning depending on your reamer specs and the necks new thickness after sizing.
The more advanced wildcats require shortening the case and turning down the case walls so a neck can be formed and should be avoided if your not a mad scientist.
Rounded shoulders double shoulders and stepped cases are left to the criminally insane with nothing better to do with there time.
The first picture is a 14Flea made out of a straight walled pistol case for shooting rats at a feedlot. Long shots are 20 yards and the bullet is half the weight of the primer in the 50 bmg round next to it.
The next case is what happens when you buy a skip Otto die and have lots of shot out 22 barrels around.
