[QUOTE="MSURunner, post: 2672651, member: 102961"] This^^^ if you've never had a wildcat before. It's probably about as easy of a wildcat round as you would find and there are loads of good brass manufacturers making it (even if you have to scour the earth to find said brass). However, and I think this is what [USER=10]@Fiftydriver[/USER] was looking to expand upon, most wildcats are answers searching for problems. If you've never been down a wildcat road before, you will likely never truly understand it until you do. But more times than not, a well cut chamber in a premium barrel by a competent smith will solve the same problem the wildcat is seeking to solve. For instance, is a well cut, properly twisted 7 RM leaving much, if anything, on the table versus a 7 PRC? The best thing that many of the new cartridges have going for them is tighter specs with ammo production than the more one size fits most approach to ammo of the past. This is resulting in more factory rounds shooting well, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
