Using 7.62x39 as basis for wildcat

[snox801]

Don't forget lil gun. I run all my hunter by rounds off that. Still run my fun ammo on h110 but can get much better speed out of lil gun.

going to be a fun gun hard to build clips but that's the only major setback I have had got that figured out for 10 shot

I shoot a 6.5TCU, (or 6.5-223improved) if you prefer.
Cheap brass and ballistics almost as good as a Grendel.
Currently I am loading BM2 in mine behind a 123Amax for 2638fps in 24 inch barrel.

No offense, but I think your cartridge name might be really confusing to some... You might want to give it a more wildcat type name, something like the 40-7.62x39 or 10x39mm, or something like the 10mm __________ (something catchy and unique, a lot of wildcatters use their last names).

Sounds like you managed to make someone pretty butthurt over it. I'm a big S&W revolver guy, and I think it's a clever name. If they want to be whiney ********, screw 'em.
