Ok, I am back... I have been messing around with the idea of a simpler cheaper wildcat.. I have to thank my friend Wildcatjunkie for the challenge. He gave me some samples of a 8mm 06improved. We had a big discussion on modifying a great cartridge a while back. carcano91 to name one insisted on leaving it or going to an 8x64. Well, I got to thinking a bit, and figured every one was correct in there own way. So, I decided to figure out a My way answer to this great challenge. 1. Opened up an 270 to 8mm Poof,, 8x57 long.. I weighed all cases empty, and then filled with water to get a average increase of available charge weight. Standard 8x57 64.3
Here is the only set back. Now I need to make a reamer to extend the case neck into the bore of the barrel.. Any one got an extra reamer I can grind down? Any one fire forming cases should look into hydraulic them it is cheap, and really isn�t difficult.. I was amazed. I am going to buld a little easier tool to hydraulic all the cases. Scout... | ||

Hydraulic forming; easy enough but messy IMO. The 8x64 is a neat idea. Just grind the reamer straight behind 57 mm so you can run it in as far as you want with out enlarging the base. Regards Bill | |||

(Grinding) That is exactly what I intended, hearing it makes me feel much better... I figured I would make a little work box to maintain mess. I also thought it would be a work station.. Will have to think about it some.. I don't know how close this is to the breneke UROPE cartridge.. I think I spelled it incorrectly Thanks.... Scout... | |||
