Dr B “Cartridges of the World†by Frank C. Barnes would be a good place to start, lots of info on wildcats and good reading. By the way I believe the Wampus Kitty is a ’06 necked down to .22. I’m not sure about that though. Shawn Have you cycled your PF upside down lately????? God Bless http://www.davidchristmangunmaker.com/ http://i257.photobucket.com/al...wnhound/f66262d4.jpg | |||

'Just curious, but why do you want a .224 bore that will give you more velocity than a 220 Swift? Are you going to shoot heavy, 60 grains +, bullets out of a quick twist barrel? I have a 22-243 Middlestead and have had a couple of 22-6mm Remingtons (22 TTH) but can't find a niche for them to fill. The 22-243 is fast, but deer shot with a 60 grain Partition seem to die just a quickly when the bullets come out of a 22-250. The 22-6mm Rems were rechambered 223 barrels and they ate throat quickly. BTW, what did you do with your 25 WSSM? Jeff | |||

For "old timer" wildcats you could try Richard Simmons book "Wildcat Cartridges " - they turn up on E-Bay quite often ; or Fred Ness' book " Practical Dope on the .22" , or some of C S Landis' books have good referance to wildcats ; or "Wildcat Cartridges Vol 1 and 11 Combo Edition" by Wolfe publishing . The latter is a compilation of articles from Handloader magazine. All these are available on E-bay on occassion. ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||
