Are there any established wildcats based off of the ultramag cases? I was thinking along the lines of a .416 ultra or a .458 ultra or even maybe a .35? Anything smaller than .30 would be pretty painfully overbore (257 ultramag anyone???). I suspect a 458 wouldn't be too far off of a .460 weatherby?
Ultramag wildcats anyone?

I'm slowly building a 416Ultra.
So close to the 416Wby it is ridiculous.
400 grains at 2600fps and 350 grains at 2900fps is what most guys are getting.
The predecessor to the 458Ultra was the 458G&A and the 450 Vincent long.

There's the 6.5/300 Ultramag of course.
I'm not sure if it's even still considered wildcat since there seems to be the same cartridge out there with 2 or 3 different names.
The 9.3 ultramag sounds quite cool, and I was personally interested in that, but a closer look showed me that it would be pretty much indistinguishable from a factory .375 RUM in performance, and I already have one of those...
