anyone ever heard of the 7.62X54R being wildcatted? if the .303 can be necked down, i don't see why its russian counterpart can't.

Never heard of it but...........

Rimmed cases don't get much attention these days because of feeding problems and lack of suitable actions (that one should get an argument going) Sounds fun to me, get youself a nagant and give it a try, you never know.

If Dr. Palmissano and Pindle would have stayed home and done nothing, benchrest shooting would be much different today!

Seems this board is run by a bunch of kids with no concept of reloading unless it comes out of the press at 300+ rnds@hr. Or they buy cheap crap by the crate.

Naaaaaaa

We are just the type of kids who dislike being insulted for doing a volunteer job....

BTW...If I get 100rds an hour I am LAUGHING!!
 
well Joe , I think my next projext will run a 6.5x284T on a remmy 700 action and gailard sporter barrel for hunting and varmints, maybe a jewel trigger , I relise the 6.5x284 is no longer a wildcat but the 6.5x284 Tight or Match is still a wildcat and watching the 5" groups @ 1000 yards is pretty amazing cartridge by all means

When you say tight are you referring to chambering a tight neck case. In other words you'd have to turn the case neck down to get it to fit or are you talking about something else?
 
anyhow Joe I have played with a few in the past and have none at the moment, 6.5x284 is a dam fine one but norma now makes factory ammo for them so there not a wildcat anymore, 6.5x06 is another dandy round with 1000 yard BR capabilities , I have often wondered if a guy were to neck down a 22 hornet to take a .17 caliber vmax bullet if you could get them to stabalize or even a 223 down to .17

another one I kicked around was a 338 lapua-375 , blow the lapua case out to accept 375 dia bullets , probably been done but its fun to look at the case collection and mix N match
 
By strict definition, there are wildcats and there are improved cartridges. They differ in that improved cartridges may be necked down or up but changes to the case body happen in the chamber only upon firing. ie. 303 British to 303 Epps.and many of the Ackleys.
Wildcats are cartridges whose case has been altered before chambering. ie. cutting down a case and forming a new neck. This is done for the most part with various case forming dies on the bench. The final product is fired in the chamber and completed there.

Nowadays the two terms are mixed. But this should be no problem because most people understand that ithe case has been altered in some way.
 
240 Gibbs, 257 AI, 257 STW, 6mm-284, 6mm AI, 7mm TCU, 7mm Int-R, 7mm AI, 30-06AI, 8mm-06AI, 338-06 (not technically a wildcat, but good luck finding ammo in most stores), 416 Taylor, 450 Ackley, and I just ordered two 475 barrels. That's from memory, there may be more if I go dig in the dungeon (as my wife calls it). - Dan

I think the 7mm Int-R is a necked down 30-30, was popular with the silhouette crowd.

They differ in that improved cartridges may be necked down or up but changes to the case body happen in the chamber only upon firing.

I think this is a little misleading. Improved cartridges usually have two things in common with the parent case, if I am not mistaken. They are of the same caliber and the headspace is the same. The shoulder angle changes upon firing in the improved chamber and thus blows the case out to varying degrees depending on the taper on the original case. Some case show a dramatic improvement over the parent, such as the 257 roberts vs 257 roberts improved, while others show somewhat less increase such as the 30-06AI. If I am completely out to lunch on this, feel free to add some info. I am here to learn!


** POOF** part deux

That would be the .300 Mashburn Super Magnum.

According to Ackley: "being slightly larger than .300 Weatherby.
