Wildcat Bullets

[Kevan]

Has anyone out there used Wildcat bullets made in Wetaskwin Alberta ?
Apparently they are made in several sizes and weights.
I'd like to hear some feedback regarding hunting or target use.

I have dealt with Richard quite a bit. I like his bullets. Consistant and prices arent bad either. He is also easy to deal with.

just my 2 cents

+1. Good bullets. - dan

What types of bullets do they have? Pistol or rifle? Web site?

You should give him a call. He is making a new match bullet with an aluminum nose cone. I'm getting some to try in .308/215's.

Boomer, those look like they are for a 50 BMG! What is the B.C. of them?

I mentioned that to him as well. Ya know, I wrote down the BC, but I can't find the paper now. (story of my life) I called Richard and he's not home, but I'll check with him later today and let you know. I expect it's about .56.

I have his 2005 price list. It mentions the bullet I think but no specs.
He doesn't list 8mm's either.

I have his contact info. Interested parties can send me their email addy and I will send it to you.

Maybe there is a reason for that... Is 8mm for a PISTOL?!

In a word, no.
This is am 8mm:

8x54MS, 8x57, 8x63, 64, 68mm and likely more up to the 8 Rem Mag

Even if it was a pistol caliber, I don't see why Richard couldn't make them.

Has anyone talked to Richard lately? Haven't heard from him in awhile. Mark

 

[Boomer]

I just got off the phone with Richard an hour ago. He did not have the BC for the .308/215, but he said the BC for the same bullet in a .338/300 was .965. The Lapua snipers out there should try them out.

I buy his bullets for my match rifles that my son and I use in .5.56, 6.5, and .762, sometimes by the bucket full!
Great bullets, I'd recommend them to anyone.
I've only seen one of the 30 cal/215's, but am awaiting a shipment of same!

Just go and

surf Longrangehunting.com and see about his bullets. There are a lot of them that go south to the long range hunters and shooters. He is making some pretty big bullets for the wildcatters out there.

 

[ElmerFudd]

In a word, no.
This is am 8mm:

Hehe... didn't you see the "Runaway" smilies? ===> <===

All I was doing was making fun of your caliber choice!

Oh you waskal!

And here I thought I was going to have a chance to teach someone something new.

Sure you didn't mean .65? The new Hornady AMAX 208 gr are around .66 I think

 

[Boomer]

Richard said the .338/300 BC was .965, so it would follow that the .308/215 is quite a bit higher than I initially thought. Some unsophisticated math gives me .835, but that is just a W.A.G.

 

[Noel]

Thanks for putting out all that effort Mike! They will darn near fly like a BMG round with figures like that!
