I am the new mainstay. In case you have not noticed I have a pretty good following already. Not even close to my first RODEO.

How many to you have an IBS benchrest record on your resume.

So you are 75 or over? Because the term wildcat predates the internet.

Back to the regular programing. I didn't play with the wssm's much, but sometimes the wsm's were hard to read pressure signs due to the thicker cases. That being said a center feed should help with any feeding issues of a 40 degree right?

They may not be wildcats in some peoples eyes, but I derive a significant amount of pleasure in shooting the cartridges that I've AI'ed and the ones that I've stretched beyond the AI to become a Gibbs. When I say I, I don't mean that I did the gunsmithing work. I mean that I studied the ballistics and the options, and I chose to go a route other than the factory route. I may not be advanced enough to design a cartridge out of nowhere, but then few are, and most "wildcats" are an adaptation of "something" that has previously existed. So, call it what you will - there's are times I'd rather be nice than be "right".

I just know that I've grown to respect the experience and advice of some who've improved my knowledge base without making me feel like I didn't belong here because I don't have a 2000 yard kill with a slingshot or a list of awards and trophy's to my credit. So thank you Jerry [RIP] and ButterBean and Feenix and L.Sherm and RockyMtnMT and the list goes on.

Wow... I love when people, who nobody even knows, get on the internet and act like they're a God

I guess it could be said some wild cats are wilder than others

Yes or simply making the action a single shot
