GPBillDoes anyone load the Bob Booth "Bobcat"?
I'm a new member trying to find some proprietary polycarbonate sleeves for the ".357/44 Bobcat" It is a cartridge from the early '80s Bob Booth designed that used these sleeves. These are not sabots,
I have finally begin to run low on sleeves and can no longer find a source.
Any clues will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

GPBillThis sectioned view may help. The sleeve stays in the chamber after firing.
The loading data is the same as the Bains & Davis wildcat. Due to the bottleneck, the D&D case could set back sometimes and drag on the recoil plate. The sleeves help prevent this.
