[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1474431, member: 65338"] I have wildcatted a lot of different rounds from 20 cal up to large magnums and everything in between. Some very radical, some as simple as a shoulder angle alteration or just necking down one caliber size. The 8x68s is a .360 round. My 338-375 Ruger is obviously a couple caliber sizes smaller. Since the case is being necked down, I will not use COW and fast powder for fireforming. I will fireform using the "false shoulder" method in low-mid power loaded rounds. It is guaranteed to give full case formation with one firing. Im sure the folks with experience making radical wildcats know about that method (although this one isn't very "radical"). I can explain if there are some not familiar with it. Definitely looking forward to finally having some decent brass for this great round :) [/QUOTE]
