Companion -Woodjack's 240 WM wildcat
Roll EyesIn 2003 This wildcat was going to be born but never happened. It's stimulous was a Boddinton article on the sloping 300 h&h magnum.

The idea was to start with a .270 case . These are reamear dimensions.
  • bolt face dia = .4703"
  • From bolt face to shoulder- .800" at a diameter of -.450"
  • bolt face to shoulder minor dia. .860" with a dia. of .400"
  • From the bolt face to the start of the neck 2.060" with a dia. of .295"
  • From the bolt face to the case end 2.560" with a dia. of .292".
  • Throat length =.240"

    This would yield a long necked gentle sloping case, using an 06 styled case with a shoulder being used similar to a belt, that would fall right on the heals of the .260 as far as perfomance but geared for the heavier bullets.

    May do it yet as a single shot Mauser. sofaroger
