Wildcatting a Springfield Trap Door?

[NorCalMikie]

....with something like a .221 fireball, 20 VT OR a 20 TCM??
There are a couple of newer built rifles that could stand the higher pressures??
Here I go, thinking again.

No, just thinking. It always gets me into trouble.
We wildcat everything else so why not a Trapdoor?

I have been intending to build a 30/30 on one but just have not gotten around to it. I have the stock, action and barrel but have been struggling to find the time. WH
