Who here has designed their own wildcat cartridge?

[adamsredlines]

Ok...has anybody actually done their very own wildcat cartridge? I mean...make it from scratch of your own design. Not one you saw elsewhere, but from your brain to your gun.

What was it...and why did you decide to make one?

Surely there's at least a few who have!

I bet @PR-6284 has

Close but never went all the way through the process. 338/350 rem mag. The 338 RCM came out not long after I started getting serious about it.

I've fired a few 9mm through .40 caliber Glocks...

The 11GB magnum. Based on a 6mm pinfire necked up to 10.7mm
Uses cordite I clip into teeny pieces with my dirty old toenail clipper.
Only bad thing is you have to muzzle load it.

That's actually not uncommon. One of our members that runs some training classes have used those as an example about making sure you keep your ammo separated.

Well, since you mention it, I did develop....well I never built the gun....but I built the cartridge.....yeah forget I mentioned it. I gave up on the 6.5 CreedLESS.

On a similar note... I've read where guys (maybe one guy?) ran a full mag of .380s thru a Hi-Point 9mm.

Apologies for the off topic post.

No but, I would like to see an affordable rifle in an old caliber that H&K submitted to US trials to replace the 50bmg. I think it was a 9x110mm. I believe it shot a lot flatter than the .50 with less recoil.

Was working on a LONG range varmint round, .460Wtby necked down to .17.
Had a 30" .17 blank. Never barrelled the rifle. The cases were a PITA to load.
