If you were to design a wildcat, what would it be?

[bhawley76]

300 rum 243 that's got rocket written all over it

I've always wanted to neck a .338-06 up to .30 caliber and call it the .30-338-06

That's been around for a long time.  It's called the 30-06.

i hope everyone realizes I was joking

I wondered if you were going say something or just let them fly with it.

Whats the biggest case size you can get  in the AR platform and have necked down to something like 6mm-6.5,243?

243 is basically a necked down 308

Gotta be 5000 feet per second what ever it is!

375 wsm seems like it would fit the bill for a short range heavy hitter..something similar to 375 h&h performance but in short action

 

Wonder if the wsm has the capacity to match the hh?
Would be pretty cool if it could

So is a 243short mag just a really shortened 308 case?

I dont reload and not super hyped about wildcats HOWEVER i could see sweet wildcats for the AR platform...

243 sm is a fatter shorter case. Like a 6br.  Kinda what has inspired me for a 243saum. It would be like a 243wssm stretched out

I think it would come up short compared to the hh...bit it's a good place to start !!

Fat mac might be fun

State arms did a 375/50 bmg claimed a 375 solid @ more than 5 grand. The ballistic curve looks similar to a dead man's ekg.

Dose anyone know any balistics on that 6.5 -300rum?

It will pretty much mirror the 6.5 Badger.
