Wildcat Guessing Game

[MiG25]

This is from 1960. I don't have an answer key, but to get started I think the 240 Wilson Arrow is a 6mm-220 Swift Improved.

Anybody know what the 6.7x53 is for example? Or the 243 Wade?

6.7x53 sounds like a 3006 necked down to 270

Now that’s a wildcat worth doing.

Yeah a Guy should get right on that DG- imagine the velocity you could get from a 130 grain bullet

Wouldn't that be x63?

Maybe 7.65x53 as the parent case?

Nope. the old 7.65x53 Belgian, Argentine, Turk, Bolivia, Ecuador, Columbia, Peru, Paraguay, necked down to .270.

Since there is a rimmed and rimless version I'm thinking it is the 6.5 Mannlicher (rimmed and rimless) necked up to 270. Maybe?

You guys are right my brain saw 63 not 53.

The 280 Dubiel, the 300H&H necked to 7mm, is a good looking round.

My personal favorite is the 6.5 Souper...
