I met Mr Clark at a gun show, many years ago, and IIRC (could be mis-remembering) he told me he designed his original wildcat on a 228 bullet - to get the weight needed.
Anyone out there more informed than I?

Not sure about that, Mark. My recollection is that he used a heavy .224 with a double jacket.

I do know that PO Ackley used his own controlled expanding bullet, the precursor to the Barnes X, on his big 224s, because he told me so during a visit.
