Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum and I've posted a few times in other parts of THR.
I have begun kicking around the idea of creating my own wildcat round. The specifics of which have not been decided upon yet, but I do know some general things I will need. Firstly, I am fairly certain the parent casing will be .30-06. Where can I obtain reforming dies? Can Redding supply something like that if I have a specification they can work to? The neck resizing would be greater than a millimeter smaller, so it may take a few progressively smaller dies to obtain the neck I'd want.
How about chamber reamers...what companies out there make these to a customer specification?
I think using the .30-06 case as a parent is a good idea because I can use virtually any action already used for .30-06 so the bolt face will work with the round.
I do not have the money to drop on this project all at once, but I plan on doing it over time. Creating my own round seems very interesting and probably quite fun.
Thanks,
Jason
