You wish!
The Ruger is a completely different case than the H&H, and will work in more actions than the H&H. It's not just a necked up/down version of a parent case. It actually does do something different, whereas your 23 's will do nothing that a .243 version of whatever case won't do- they will fit the same rifles.
This is not to say your project has no merit, because it is indeed entertaining, which is the most important aspect.
Just mentioning the irony of calling one of north Americas favorite cartridges redundant on a thread about an obviously redundant caliber. It's just so damn funny.
This thread is about a family of 23 cal wildcats, which apparently has significant interest to some. If you're on board and have positive input and suggestions then by all means post away..........if you're just here to criticize and troll.......please move along.
So my limited research and correspondingly limited brain power indicate that the Browning X bolt does NOT have a threaded barrel.
However, my research into the 1885 High Wall indicates they DO have a threaded barrel. See link below.

I would have just attached the picture but putting up pictures here is a pain in the keester.
So now to begin the search for a High Wall in a caliber suitable for a Lynx. Suggestions welcomed and higher intelligence appreciated.

Dave.

Douglas/Marshal, a question. Any calculation or projection on the velocities of say the 230 HYDRAX, based on the 243/308 case and or
the 234 Moose based on the '06 case, with different bullet weights that will initially be available?Douglas, Pottsy says hello.

So..... ..... how much to own a hyrax..... ..... willing to whore it around too.... would have to buy a whackload of bullets from marshall and a whackload of cases..... but this would be taken out once a year for timberwolf so why not have something unique?... kind of matches the thread spirit anyways......

No doubt.... small things amuse small minds I guess.... its a truly unique cartridge created right here on cgn by a respected member.... based on history I dont expect you to respect that....
I know less about this stuff than most.... definitely yourself included.... but I am smart enough to know when something cool is happening and see it as a learning opportunity...

Thanks Marshal. 1 - 8" twist will be the barrel specs? Any thoughts at all on a slower twist rate at a later date? What bullet weights will be available?
I didn't spell it out the reason I laughed as I thought it was obvious, but I guess not. I'll let you in on the joke:
There was a fair bit of trolling and criticism done by C-fbmi and especially by his merry yes-men on the 375 Ruger thread. Declaring this thread to be troll/critique free zone is laughable. There you have it...
Now onto the .23 caliber discussion.
These .23 caliber cartridges are entertaining, that's all. Every single case being used or proposed has at one time been necked to .24 caliber. Putting a .23 bullet into the case will result in a net difference of zero. They are not new cases, they don't fit into any different rifles that the .24 versions cannot, they aren't a new short fat like the WSM or a long beltless like a RUM, they are just .23 caliber, and that's all.
As I said on my first post, it's entertaining, and that's good enough reason to do anything. Like anybody else looking at this thread, I find it interesting to see rifles chambered for one of the more rare calibers out there. There will certainly be some cool factor in owning and hunting or competing with a .23 caliber rifle. But that doesn't change the facts, that there will be no practical difference, and all the cartridges proposed are redundant. Equally redundant as the .270 is, at the very least.

I won't waste a long reply on this..... if you cant see the difference between creating something new and throwing a bunch of dancing bananas at a cartridge made to sell rifles by a manufacturer then that is your issue.....
Your post really has nothing to do with what I brought up. So I won't bother wasting a long reply either. Hopefully you will get a nice .23 caliber rifle some day and enjoy hunting with it.
23BR........
Those are some serious outriggers..............do tell?
Donno if I'll F with it Kevin, if so, only for 300yds. It needs to prove itself first.
