Help design the NZHS Forum Wildcat - Part 3 - Case

Subsonic 338 saum

Now thats just silly.

lets neck a 7-08 up to 30cal and call it good?

What about a 303 necked down to 30 cal?

Been done as well as plenty of other bore sizes, custom on a weak very old action just doesnt make sense.

Kind of a 7 mm br, nothing new under the tropics as we say in French.

Now theres a good idea :)

reloading wise for this 7mm FEH, would you be able to get away with a 22-250 body die and then larger bushings in a neck die ?

sounds like something that might fix the only issue i have with the 7-08, mag length...

Yes that will work

and what cunning plan do you have for a seating die ? :D

With lapua brass and 120g ballistic tips it might be a 3000fps capable chambering

Has anyone actually done anything about this and got one done?
