Yikes! Tough crowd on here.
My apologies for not adding specifics.
Here's my reasoning, since it would appear I'm required to defend myself with more than the simple wildcat standby, "I just thought it'd be cool and wanted to try it out." ;P *Should've added emojis to convey this wasn't intended to be an intense comment. Just reread and realize it could've come across slightly hostile and not joking*
It's a 35 caliber that should have better ballistics than the 35 Norma. The case taper was taken out to increase capacity as much as possible, without hampering extraction.
I don't need the long neck for the shorter 220gr bullet I'll be pushing, so that's why I kept it to .250''.
As for the steeper shoulder, I just think it looks good, and it increases capacity slightly. It's truthfully, mostly cosmetic though =)
This will be an "under-bore" cartridge and barrel life should last my hunting lifetime.
