No longer "young", but got my first wildcat when I was about 21, a .411 KDF Magnum. I was a sucker for oddballs even then, and an article by Craig Boddington led me to believe I could not live without a .411. He shot a bull Nilgai with one with a Texas heart shot and it exited front of the chest. He said it was the most "sterling" performance he had ever seen from a soft point bullet, a 330 gr Barnes Original if memory serves.
My only other wildcats are a .375-06 JDJ, an 8mm-06 and a 9x57R, which is basically a wildcat now.
