I've built a lot of wildcats and played with throat lengths and it's been a great tool. It is a computer program so you have to remember the axiom "GARBAGE IN = GARBAGE OUT. The more accurate your input the better your results will be. I adjust case capacity to a ten case average make sure OAL...
I want to buy/build a 100yd fun target gun. My considerations are low recoil, larger than .224(to better see bullet holes), Inexpensive to load, built on a bolt action. I may use it for plinking and varmints under 300yds. I've been considering 6mmx45, 25-45 Sharps, 6,6.5,7 TCU or maybe 6.8spc or...
I have had 10-22 mags go bad. Clean them out with a spray solvent then use a drylube on them; brings them back to life. I have had to take a few apart over the years and trouble shoot them. Mostly minor fixes.

Guy,
Last year I built a 6.5WSM on a Win 70 270WSM action. I haven't completely wrung it out yet but the 142LRAB is scooting past 3100fps and the 129s are over 3200. The gun feeds flawlessly and the brass is easy to neck down. In the new McMillan it weighs just eight pounds scoped and ready to...

I know it's not quite the same case(WSM is bigger) but it's darn close. My experience with the WSM and Rsaum cases are that they don't start showing pressure sign until well above 70k psi. i think your yanking on the Dragon's tail. Please be careful my friend.
Cartridge : .338/300 Win...
Pretty much true Guy. I like playing with some of the older cartridges using the newer powders and bullets. I'm waiting to see if anybody will do for the quarter bores what they've done with the 6.5s. I have a 257Roberts AI built on a standard Win 70 running a 1-9 twist just waiting for a .257...
I have a Krieger CM barrel in .375 that I picked up somewhere and I'm always toying with the idea of doing something with it. 375Whelen, Ruger, HH improved or a 37 nosler. If I did the nosler I'd take it to to 3.6". All on a Win 70 of course! Decisions............
