MSS, have you found some kind of book or something lately with a list of wildcats and obsolete cartridges, or do you seriously need "professional" help? hehe

Wildcats are the only thing that really interest me anymore. Seems like once you open the wildcat door you find ALL KINDA neat stuff!! Guys like Steve Schroeder are really interested in helpin us fuel our desire! LOL!

I hear ya, I started by getting more velocity out of my 260, so I cut it to 260 AI, then I had it recut to 6.5-284. I also got my .22-250 AI'd and my contender barrel is a K-Hornet. Now I want a Competitor in .30-350 Rem magnum, and get a swap barrel for my Palma rifle in .22-243, once you get started you just can't stop.
Back to topic, does the 5mm use .20 bullets like the Tactical 20, or is there a difference in diameter?

Steve lists the 5mm bullets as .2045" on the bullet listing that i posted > http://www.nookhill.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=009243

I use the Hornady 20 cal vmax in my 5mm Mag conversion, among others. There are a couple guys doing the conversion and they have different bullet wieghts available. Makes a nice crow rifle and they are accurate.

Wildcatting is a temporary malody...It will wear off once you figure out that there is no place to go that someone hasn't left some tracks there before you!!!

I have a 5mm, it shoots tiny groups at 100 yards, many you can cover with a dime, that is the only reason I have it still, along with one box of ammo left...but the conversion is worth twice what the gun is...hell I can buy two boxes of ammo for $150.
