vapodogA great idea for a wildcat
Lets neck down the .35 Whelen to .30 caliber.
I'll bet it'll be a very popular cartridge.
We can call it the .30 Whelen.....

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

BarstoolerThe 9.3x62 crowd would never stand for it. They would insist on a 7.62X62 wildcat.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

I wonder how close that would be to the 275 Rigby? Maybe you could neck the Rigby down to .25 caliber and then you're talking.

Cross LWith all these neat new rounds we surely need a new action for them. I will simplify the current one--lets reduce the 9 lugs to 2 then put the extractor on the outside so it doesnt need those fiddly springs and maybe move the safety to the cocking peice-Ya'll reckon it might work?

RandyBHow about taking the 6.5x284 and necking up to 7mm? I would call it a 7x284. Now that sounds cool!
