Hi,
I am Marco from Italy and I have been collecting inert cartridges since 2002.Now I am 28 years old and my interest reached the world of wildcats.
I also designed my own wildcat cartridge whose first dummy rounds were made by a friend of mine.It is a 6 mm designed for heavy bullet use and derived from reworked standard belted cases.
Very similar to the 6 mm - 284 Winchester cartridge although shorter and fatter to rewduce overboring

I have a bunch of empty cases that I'd like to form into some wildcat rounds,but I am looking for some dimensional data.

I can find the exact case lenght of the 458 Denali.However I know it should be about 58 mm

I also have the opportunity to make some 9,3 mm Ultra cases but I don't know if this wildcat is made from 300 RUM or 338 RUM that is,as you know,shorter

Perhaps one of these may help:

Where in Italia do you live, Marco? I lived in Tirrenia (south of Pisa by just a bit) for about five years back in the 1970s. Loved it-- loved the country, loved the food, loved the weather, loved the people. You have such a wonderful country. I wish I could, but I will never have the opportunity to go back...

Duggaboye,
thank you for your reply.The qual cart list of wildcats is very good

Way up there, where the summers are cool and not so humid...

I went to Google Earth and saw your town. What is that big building between Coia and Erba? It's 200 metres long. It ain't no bowling alley...

Hi,
