Keep in mind that a lot of our common cartridges are wildcats. Look at all made from the 30-06 case and .308 case alone. Without somebody messing around trying something new, we would not have the choices we have now.
I recently had a 6SLR made and love it. It’s a .243 case with the shoulder pushed back slightly enabling a long neck.
It is very accurate, probably not because of the cartridge itself, but mostly the quality work of the smith, but the longer neck makes me a happier reloader.
