[QUOTE="Doublezranch, post: 1633242, member: 32664"] Some of you know I started building Wildcats for my children. I gathered the best people and we were able to come up with an extraordinary plan. I decided to build the Wildcats with a couple of determining factors. The first was I wanted a belted case so if the kids decided to not to reload, they could buy a box of factory ammo and still use their gun. The second, the caliber had to fit their attitude. The first was Zayne. I picked the 378 Weatherby. JE Custom and I were able to improve the case more than expected. The 375 Zayne holds 144 grains of powder and is a pleasure to shoot. The second was my daughter Zaylea. The caliber we chose was the 340 Weatherby. Again JE Custom and I were able to come up with improvements beyond our expectations. The 340 Zaylea Ann holds 108 grains. We don’t have the dies yet so she is fireforming brass. Now on to the last. JE Custom and I sat at the drawing board one last time for the most challenging of the bunch. We talked over several possibilities through. However, every conversation came back to the 300 Weatherby. The 300 Zandyr should be completed this winter and will be a 300 Weatherby Improved. Tentative Improvements show the case will hold 111 grains. That much powder for a 30 cal should be a real long range contender. My build team (JE Custom, Dave Manson, and Joel Russo) have been incredible and unbelievably supporting to the kids and myself. The 375 Zayne and 340 Zaylea Ann do have threads with pictures if your interested in seeing them. More to come..... [/QUOTE]
