22-6.56 wag

LOL I never even heard of that one.  I'll have to look that one up, but no that's not it either.

In preliminary testing this cartridge is shooting 55gr Bergers out of a 26in. barrel 4100fps and hadn't pressured out yet.  Shot 40gr Vmax over 4500fps and surprisingly the bullets didn't vaporize in flight.  :yike:

Lol, I only shoot over the counter stuff, have never reloaded yet, and really don't know much about caliber development. Your building a wildcat right, So pretty much can build anything off another case as long as it isn't bigger then parent case?

You had the right caliber the first time, just wrong parent case and shoulder angle.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!!  :tup:

The boys at Defensive Edge Rifles have been developing a 20 caliber version of their "Terminator" line and came up with what they are calling the 204 Terminator which is a 260 Rem necked down to .20 cal with the same shoulder angle as their other Terminators.

It's a given the barrel life probably won't be much over 600 rounds but shooting those 20 cal 55gr Bergers 4100fps and maybe more, should be a lot of fun and I can only imagine what it'll do to a coyote or groundhog. :yike:
