Thread: Help wanted to identify this 22-303 wildcat

You’ve got my dies and reamer… turn the barrel back enough to clean it up into a 225W… lol. Maybe a hint more 1885 ish than having a Commonwealth round in an American rifle! That should open up a whole new avenue of discussion.

Yeh I could but we are talking turning back a number of threads to re chamber and then throw out all the fore end fit and scope blocks.
I don't want to mess with that Californian Walnut stock

Better plan is go shooting
Wear out the barrel
Fit a new barrel and profile full length tapered octagonal exactly like the one on it.

Trouble is it takes me a long time to wear out a barrel because I'm spoiled for choice

Yes, no challenge to that statement. I seem to recall there is a cartridge website, they may have it in their DB
