Thanks much for all the info. A BIG help, gang!
A couple things are turning me towards the Ruger case.
As said previously, cost and PIA level do take a part in a wildcat for me.
With a couple neck and shoulder already removed RUM brass, next step was to whack off a 375 Ruger slightly above...
Thank you, Gerry!!!
Id like to see ( or do in the future) a "bullet test" comparison on both those bullets out of this shorty.
Like what I read about both.

While looking at a couple different rounds for the 375 wildcat I have on the table a couple things popped out that either just has me scraching my head a bit and/or thought some might have experiences with them so thought I'd fire this out there at the gang.
In performance, I cannot imagine...
Thanks Duyam.........but my case length is 1.8 inches ...max. State rules. Ive got to have a bullet 1.355" long to reach the bottom of the neck in my current mag Rem before I run out of room in the magazine.
Not saying I wont look at others but I am kind of stuck in a pattern. Now if I find a...
Well, Dang. That's not good to hear such problems and I can understand being upset. I know I would be.
So far, I've been pretty lucky I guess.
I think part of the reason I shy from any kind of synthetic stock is because of the so called "tupperware" stories but there seems to be more issues...
I gotta say, that would be a fun one! Sweet looking boomer there, Buddy.
The 284 wildcats always have a good following.....for GOOD REASON.
If not for the idiotic length max on our "legal round" brass.....both my 358 and upcoming 375 bore would have been on the 284 brass. Had a 6.5-284 MOA...
Wouldn't work well with me in there. I'm too ignorant of most "stuff" discussed and would slow the conversations down with "What?" "Why?"......."HUH????" :oops:
Personal "quirks" have me unable to just accept what others know as "facts"......without some kind of answer to how that was...
I'd have to see some kind of mental specialist........to fix my FLINCH!!!!!!!!!!! after that.
If I could squeeze a trigger at all!
Arghh.
God Bless

Probably so. I get that a lot on many things I think about. :mrgreen: Not really "worried" but more curious as to why one particular caliber doesn't even have options for another rate is all. Always trying to learn. Never enough info for me. Thanks!!!
Compliments of our member TRIC, I have...
I still have 12 days of "bonus anterless season" to go through yet, starting the day after Xmas and I can use my 350JR too. ML season is in but....uh....problems physically that make walking accross 300 yards or more of MUD (been warm and raining here) just dont seem like fun at all, let alone...
Same caliber but off subject.
Looking at this build, installing an after market barrel is pretty much mandatory. Finding a factory take off in this bore would be a biotch, and so much would be cut off to setback and rechamber I'd have a stub (comparing that my preference of 22 inches)
12 is...
I read several threads on cartridge walls and know some rounds (and mfgs) DO have quite and increase in thickness compared to others, or a least what some guys state they find. I believe the RUM cases are one of them. Ill find out shortly.
There has to be a REASON such was made.
If at all...
All look beautiful to me! Rifle, Kills, and good healthy animals! Here in IN, triples are quite rare. Ive pulled that just once.
Excellent hunt!
God Bless
Thought of that and it would be ok. Certainly would work. Deer wouldnt know the difference, Im sure.
Somewhat kind of goal is to throw the bigger bore, slightly heavier lightweights of the .375 caliber at the same velocity or more than the 350JR so, looking at a slightly larger capacity to do...
Still and probably always, the novice in wildcat round creation I run into questions that have multiple answers, and as what seems to be constant on the web, contradicting opinions.
I would appreciate input here from you all on the subject of the good, bad and the ugly concerning how thick the...
Just enjoyed my first year with my own only grandchild. Something that I had just about decided wasnt going to happen.
She came at a very blessed time for our family but I wont go into that.
Just know that no matter how proud you are now, OOOOOH Baby......You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!!!
God...
I guess it WAS a poor choice of words. "Queen" may inadvertently insult someone's uh........ dating inclinations?.......uh....choice in significant other? :oops: Yeah.....THAT.
I'm OLD........I dont think that way but it WAS pointed out to me. Yikes. :shock:
Politically correct........I AM...
I meant no honest disrespect in the above for those ONLY interested in trajectory here locally.
What I meant to point out was that so many here think something that is not flatter shooting than the existing wildcats is not even worth discussing.....let alone building, REGARDLESS of caliber...
