Howdy Ken Howell
A year ago I finished my project rifle in 220 Howell. Based on a Ruger No1 with a 28" Kriger barrel, it has been a pleasure to build and wonderful to use in the field on coyotes and a few bobcats. It truly reaches out and touches them.
With the advent of the 223 and 243 WSSM cartridges, I began thinking about necking down the 243 WSSM to 224 and follow a similar path. It seems to have some interesting potentials, albeit, I am still in conflict as to whether the "short and fat" argument will stand the test of time and whether the hoopla is simply a ruse to get me to trade off my now obsolete M70s chambered in 270 and 06 and 338. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Having valued your comments on a range of subjects, would you care to pontificate regarding the reasonable wildcat potential of the WSM and WSSMs?
Thanks.
