One of my favorite gun & hunting writers for many years was John Wooters. The last Wooters article that I read was his explanation why he had sold his little ranch near the Texas-Mexico border. With all the folks on this site interested in wildcat cartridges, I'm surprised that there aren't more postings about general purpose small game rounds such as the .25 Copperhead and the .257 Kimber and general purpose small game centerfire rifles such as the .25 Copperhead Mannlicher-style carbine that former gunsmith Jess Stark built to Wooters' specifications on a small SAKO action. Surely we rifle loonies have better ideas than factory rimfires and factory centerfires in .17, .20 and .22. My excuse for not putting my money where my mouth is: lack of money. Still, I'm curious.
