Nothing under that name in Howell's book Custom Cartridges. What do the fired cases look like? Is it an improved rem 244 shape? What brass do you use??

I did a Google search of Womack gunsmith and Lester Womack came up as a gunsmith listed in the Gun Digest from 1960's-1990.

You might search google " Lester Womack"and find out more.
