As some of you guys know I've been putting together a wildcat, well it's here.
Purpose is a cartridge that fits good in a SA magnum launching the 130 class .257 projectiles at 3000 fps plus with a 20 inch or less suppressed rifle. Barrel life be damned
It's not anything too crazy, simply a 6.8 western necked down to 25 cal and the reamer was designed behind using the new ADG brass, freebore was set up to run the 133 Bergers and 134 eld-m's inside a short action magnum keeping the bearing surface up above the unsized portion of the neck.
Initially I was going to reduce body taper and take the shoulder to 40° but decided against that so I can use the parent case dies rather than going to custom dies. Also with the parent case already having 35° shoulders and .555-.539 from the .200 line to shoulder, I want to see what I can get out of it before I decided to go the "improved" route.
Jgs reamer was spec'd by Wheeler accuracy and myself.
Build list is as follows
Bartlien #13 20" carbon
Kelbly Nanook SA mag
B&A Tacsport pro X ( diamond currently while it ships)
Arc rings
Maven 1.2
McMillan mountain tracker LR ( on order, sitting in an XLR currently for load dev)
Going to pressure test it today and tomorrow with the 134 and the 133 using H1000, retumbo, and h4831sc. Hoping for 3100+ fps but we shall see.
I will update the thread as I go. I am open to renting the reamer.
