My wildcatting days are about over. They just don't have much to offer IMO..

However I do have a Sako L-461 in 6x45 with a zero neck and its a 5 lb. rifle that shoots only one hole groups..Has a nice custom stock that I built some years ago..

I recently built me a 416/375 Ruger and I am really likeing it..I get .416 Rem velocity plus a bit more and with about 5 grs. less powder..Is it worth it, who knows and probably not but its a nice rifle..If an when I sell it I will make a 404/375 Ruger.

Boring, but I like them...

338/06

and not really a wildcat, just not that common in the USA... 6.5 x 57... my favorite cartridge..

( although I'd love to have something nice chambered in 416 Rigby, just for historical nostalgia, like the 6.5 x 57)

Not much in the way of wildcats these days other than a 375 Chatfield/Taylor. I had it done on a 700 action, but it is better suited for a shorter 98.

.338-06.

I am going to 'classify' it as a wild cat beacuse you cannot get loaded ammo for it in the UK. Mine does not seem to like RL-15, way off 'book' velocities. Same true for H414, but am getting 2700 -2735 fps with 210 TSX.

I would be interested to hear about the Zeglin / Hawk - Scovill rounds: 3200 Hawk on the 280 Rem case and the .375 Hawk-Scovill. I am guessing the latter is very similar to the European 9.32x62.

Just started loading for the 450 Ackley. First wildcat for me. Right now I only have loads for a 400gr A-Frame, load came from the guy I bought the rifle from, but give me more time as I want to get loads that I like for the 500 gr TSX and solids.


Good Hunting,
