Was wondering if any one had any information on this wildcat. Rifle will be based off Remington 700 BDL long action, 28 in Shilen #5 ss select grade match, HS stock with Burris scope. Was wondering if anyone had load data working off the 100 gr bullet. Barrel is 1-10 twist. [/b]
 
Layne Simpson did an article on this wildcat in Shooting Times a few years back. Shouldn't be too hard to track down, just call the company and order a back issue as I had no luck searching the website. I do rember his best loads were 3700fps with 100grain Ballistic Tips and Partitions out of a 26 inch barrel so you might make 3800 out of a 28 inch barrel. I believe H-1000 was used, but don't quote me on it.

H1000, RL 25 AA8700, all of these should work well.
