220 Thunderbolt

Question from another Forum - what is a 220 Thunderbolt? Anyone out there have quick access to one of the Wildcat books that can look it up?

Thanks

There is a guy who frequents the Bench Rest Central Forum whose handle is Thunderbolt. He is, or intends to build a 22 caliber cartridge by necking up the .204. He likes the idea of a 30 degree shoulder.

May or may not be what you're looking for????

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..

Ray,
There was a .230 McCrea Thunderbolt made by Lyman McCrea around 1941.
