A fun thread, what wildcat do YOU wish was mainstream

[Gary in MD]

I’m thinking of the 270 Winchester necked up to 30 cal. Loaded with the newest powders and bullets -
It would probably do anything the newer hot shot cartridges can do and then some.

Really? What are you shooting it out of? Barrel twist? What velocities are you seeing

Details my guy! Please.

Glock 20, 14tw, 2750 with green tips. Thats it.

You mean a 30-06?

 

[Tommie]

I’d love to see a .20 Valkyrie.
Fast twist barrel and shooting 50-55 grain bullets.

Since 90% of rifle shooters rarely, if ever, shoot past 250 yards, and because 30 Cal barrels tend to last longer, I think the 30BR should be produced. It's all most riflemen would need to win local 100/200 yard score matches.

30 BR

Hahah, yes with the new modern powders the necked up to 30cal 270 is real nice

6mm grendel

I believe this, with a few tweaks, is soon to be reality. I read somewhere about a new offering from Hornady (I believe) coming out with a 6ARC?

Kurz Is not all that you are looking for in the 22BOZ accomplished with the 22TCM??? Maybe not 2500FPS but close and already mainstreamed.

 

[ebb]

For me I want a 22/300rum to shoot the long 80 and 90 grain match bullets. But I guess you would have to buy barrels 3 and 4 at a time.

 

[fatelvis]

It seems there are few of us interested in 6mm Grendel so far. Gun makers, are you reading this? (hint-hint)!

What powder gets used? Who made the barrel? Pics?

Im sorry im being so needy, basically that but with an 80 gr is something I would love in a 1911. More than anything haha.

 

[riflewoman]

I would like to see a 22-357 Maximum. With a shoulder in a pbout the same position as a 222, the case would be a ballistic twin and ideal for Contenders and little Martini Cadets...

The two cartridges are very close in case capacity but trying to judge how close they are without doing any side by side testing/shooting is sort of fallacious. We can guess and we can suppose but that's it. I'm also not so sure I would attribute the term 'mainstream' to the description of the TCM. But opinions vary so it will depend upon who wants to portray each cartridge as being what.

Pick your poison and just get out there and shoot!

Well I guess mainstream to me means not having to spend a fortune in dies, cause reamers are pretty much all custom and cost close to the same. But $30 dollar dies and $250 dies make one mainstream and the other not. Your YMMV

 

[Brians356]

Just read up on that cartridge, holy cats that a healthy sombitch.

Think that's healthy? One of or own here necked the 6.5 x 68S down to 25 caliber plus improved it - the 257 Banshee.

A small action i.e. Howa mini or CZ 527 in 20 VarTarg, it would sell like hot cakes.

 

[senderoll]

I’ll second any 20 vartarg.
