If it were mine, I would spend the very few dollars it would take to run the chamber on out to 300WBY. Probably less expensive to re chamber to a useful cartridge than to buy the specialty dies.
I COMPLETELY understand the draw of having a unique, cool wildcat.
I found the .300 kodiak thread interesting.
Questions on a couple of older wildcat customs I bought. I'm wondering weather it would be better to re chamber them or not?
I thought having the wildcats would be cool but.. Given that I'm going to halve to buy new brass anyway. That I would be better off having brass properly head stamped. And that the last time I checked the local Sports Mans Warehouse. the cheapest and most abundant factory cartridges were 264Win. I almost bought the 100 rounds they had without having anything to shoot them in.
At this point I do not have the rifles out of hock yet. So I'm just taking W A Guesses on the chambers.
Looking at the specs. I thought a 264 factory might chamber in the 6.5 but no go. This one is a very slick feeling savage 110. Should I re chamber and set the barrel back to 264Win? Is there A 6.5STW? Could the chamber be cleaned to something like that? Or is cutting the barrel a moot point with a re chamber anyway? Thoughts?
Should the 7 go to 7REM? It is a 725REM that has been converted to left hand operation. Thoughts.
