SELLING Custom-Action Pistol for Silhouette

[thekriebles]

Classic Wichita single-shot action in a silhouette pistol frame with a three-lug bolt. Has a typical rifle bolt handle with a checkered round bolt knob instead of the butter knife bolt handle that many Wichita-action pistols have. Bolt is fluted, has an extractor and an ejector. Action is mounted in a nice custom fiberglass stock, similar to a McMillan; painted in silver/gray metallic. Has a 13" stainless Shilen barrel chambered in 7mm International. A nice wide and grooved-blade match trigger, perhaps a Canjar, crisp and light. Set up for a right-handed shooter with a left bolt and left port. Radke Custom Guns of Great Bend, Kansas built this as #14 of 25. Will include some fire-formed brass as well. $995 + shipping from my FFL to your FFL.

Afternoon:
Is this Wichita single shot pistol in the

I am new to these wildcat calibers

Question,
I was originally thinking this was chambered in a cartridge that is based off the 30-30 Win.
Now, after looking at the case you posted, I suspect I was wrong???
What brass is used for this rig?

Looking at the photos I am sure this is chamberd in 7mm IHMSA which was also called 7 International.
I shot one of these back in the handgun silohouette days. The cartridge was designed by John Adams and at one time he owned Wichita single shot pistol #1. This is a 300 savage case renecked. For anyone buying this gun, I have dies and brass for it. I also have some Ram Headstamp brass.
