Not if you blow the shoulder on the x55 case out and if you open the bolt face the few thou to "properly" fit the x55 case it might not work great with -06/-08 cases anymore??Quote:

Probably. Depends on the brass you use to I think.
how did that muzzle break go for your 22 toby?
the problem with basing something off the x55 case is that it is short for a long action and too long for a short action, If you find a mid lenght action out their built around the x55 case then yea. I just seem to think you are loosing the best bit of the 6.5x55, and that is the 6.5 aspect
you might also gain more traction by looking at the 7mm or 6mm bore. as they seem to be flavor of the month. 30cal..... boring
the case taper aspect would create differculty if using a 308 barrel, if you improved the case then you might get away without having to set the barrel right back
If you want a successful wildcat it has to fill a niche that is currently lacking, I think a pistol length subsonic cartrage would be ideal out of a pistol legth barrel in a pistol length action, like a 45apc but in 30 caliber
I have been thinking about this for a while and came to this conclusion. Why don't you just buy a cheap 308 and reload for 308?
I have a .308 and reload for that .308
I guess you could make it dumber by necking it up to .277
well toby would love a 270
That was my last dumb idea. Good memory.Quote:

well,if we necking up an down, here's a full circle. It started with the 7x57 which was modified to give us the 30-06 which in turn was shortened to give us the .308. The .308 is necked down to give us the 7mm-08 which is really the ballistic twin to the 7x57.???????????????:roll:
read that somewhere
Toby, couldn't you use the time and money to go hunting?
Faark Toby.........that's a different way of setting the shoulder back (the middle one 2nd photo);)Quote:
