MP - Howdy ! IMHO.... the really accurate ( repeatable ) sub-MOA cartridge/rifle certainly made its prescence felt when Rem brought out factory-made .222s in thier bolt rifle(s) in the early 50's. This chambering made more accurate shots MORE plausible and more easily achieved to a wider...

Mirage - Howdy ! I agree w/ Dave. I'd be suprised if your wildcat cases formed w/ perfectly concentric necks; esp with uniform neck wall thickness. Give all the cases a very light skim-trim, just enough to remove " orange peel " part-way around the necks. This will give you a good visual...

Super - Howdy, again ! Sorry I did not get backto you sooner...... I have been reading/writing during lunch @ work. Yes.. you can shoot both lead and jacketed bullits w/ Trailboss. I myself am currently working on refining my .35 Rem Trailboss load w/ Remington .35 calibre 150gr PSP. For...

Super- Howdy ! " How low.. can you go ... " If you want to try really low recoil loads, you might even want to try some Trailboss. I'm using it for reduced loads in .35 Rem, and results are astounding ( for 100yd paper use ). With regards, .357Mag

Gary - Howdy - You might wanna go to " castboolits " ( NOT castboolits.com ) and post the same questions. They also will re-direct you in all likelyhood, to a dedicated Marlin lever gun cite. Regards, 357Mag

Rich - Howdy ! Personnally speaking, I myself have yet to encounter the first bad individual or box / " lot " Hornady rifle bullet(s). Their .224" cal 55 SX is nothing short of phenominal ! I've also very much enjoyed their .224" 75 "A"-Max for both paper and live-varmint use, and...

Mac - Ok... I gotta ask: Have you given any thought to going with a "digi" powder measure ? Regards, 357Mag

Wichita 1375WBR Howdy ! I have Wichita action WBR1375 s/n 15. Mine was made in the mid 1970's. To my knowldege, Wichita is STILL in-business. They assembled a brand-new Wichita " Mini " action for me in 2007 ( The very last one they made ). You can contact Wichita, and ask them to...

Cbrock - Howdy ! One off-the-wall .35 calibre bullet out there, is a lead, polymer-tipped boat tail available as a saboted load in .45 cal. Its marketed as " Dead Center " , and is available in 12 bullet packs. In .357" cal, they come in either 175gr boat tail, or 195gr boat tail weights...

Shorty 6.5 X .284 Jerry - Howdy ! Hey... you can try-out your wildcat idea, by runnin' a 6.5 X .284 case up-into a stock .264 Win Mag FL die. You can make a " perch " out of a standard.308 shellholder, a machine screw w/ a head of .less than 470"; and two jam nuts. Screw thread diam...

Super Shoot speculation Howdy - I vote for Victor Potts. He was NBSRA " Rookie of the Year " his first year out, and has won his good share of Matches since then. Always a threat ! .357Mag

.22-250 Pete - Howdy ! If your rifle has a 1-14 24" barrel or there abouts; might I suggest you try powders like I4064, WW760, VV160, I4350 in you .22-50 ? Especially... with 55gr bullets. ( Or... 60's w/ I4350 ) . I've had/shot a lot of .22-250s. .220 Swift, and a large-cap .224" cal...

.224" cal wildcats 2.0 Johle - Forgot to ask if you had ever accessed " 6mmbr.com " ? THat's another great info source, esp on wildcat info. Regards, .357Mag

.22 Stinger ( .224" calibre wildcats ) Johle - Howdy ! YOu may first want to read-up on wildcats like the .224 Jaybird, and .224 Middlestead. Also, you can check up on the 22-6mm (Rem ) or " .22 Texas Trophy Hunter ". I'd advise against wildcating .243 Win down to .224" calibre IF the...

Overbore cartridge quide Dasher - Howdy ! It's mostly about the " expasnion ratio "..... Best place to go for answers, sre any articles authored by Homer Powley. Powley ( now deceased ) was a superb ballistician, with an Army Arsenal background ( I believe ). Powley invented an internal...

Rifle stock material Steve - Howdy ! My rifle/shooting application allowed me to go w/ use of an aluminum "I" beam set on it's side to become an "H" section beam. I free floated the action ala' 1,000yd rifle practice, and secured barrelled action to the " beam " w/ a " barrel clamp "...

Trim to length wORKER = HOWDY ! I shoot wildcats that I form myself. I myself always try to trim to exact case length that I chose in the initial design. Same method for a factory case would be ( .22-250 used as example ) trim the .22-250 to 1.912" case case oal. There's a reason why...

Svage roll-your-own Phil - Howdy ! I catch your drift.... Savage rifle action design has made it highly usefull for accuracy rifle work. The floating bolt head, barrel headspace nut and upscale triggers are some of the obvious bennies. One does see Savages on winning equipment lists...

6mm bullets Hornet - Howdy ! I too am trying out a whole host of 6mm bullets, in my 6mm wildcat case ( " Deep 6 " ). Since I shoot paper and reactive targets out to 500, I have gone to use of bullets in the 88 -107gr range. For my last shoot in Graham TX, I went in w/ Berger 95s. Berger...

VV High energy powder Chuck - Howdy ! Kaltron-Pettibone told me that while the VV 500-series powders have basically the same burn rate as their matching 100-seires cousins; they work best w/ heavier/heaviest bullets in each calibre used. For example: In a .220 Swift, VV160 would work fine...
