[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 983288, member: 1521"] IMO you're jumping into a market already saturated with dice rolling & hype. Ask yourself; why would shooters buy what I'm offering -vs- what many many others offer? You'll need a hook. A suggestion; Build a gun with any of your notion cartridges, and perfect the performance in it. Do it over & over until risk seems eliminated and further guns should represent viability in business. At this point you've reached a single shooting system similar to an off the shelf Cooper. Now with load fully developed, market the performance of each gun(by ser#, load, with targets at distance) through web auctions. This removes dice rolling on the part of customers, who will know up front what they're paying for. As far as the ammo? Frankly, we can make what you're considering here easy enough, and if we thought it was better we'd just do that. Otherwise, those not willing to depart from standards on their own, probably won't be comfortable locking themselves into non-standard ammo hype/expense. So if your perfected system relies on proprietary ammo(like Lazzeroni), you'll be reduced to near nothing for customer base. Hard to believe this would be viable today, given all the choices we have. If I were doing it, I'd order a good tight chamber reamer for 6.5x47L, perfect a shooting system, Demonstrate results, and poll potential customers here as to it's value. I think you'll find that this will be received with great enthusiasm. [/QUOTE]
