According to wiki-brain, a A wildcat cartridge, or wildcat, is a custom cartridge for which ammunition and firearms are not mass produced. These cartridges are often created in order to optimize a certain performance characteristic (such as the power, size or efficiency) of an existing commercial cartridge. Often, wildcats are commercially sold rounds that have been modified in some way to alter the cartridge's performance.
I've got a 25 Krag, which if I'm not mistaken, was one of the earliest wildcat cartridges?
So, anyone else shooting these hopped-up honeys? I don't currently have a photo of my Krag, but I'll take one tomorrow. Also, a photo of the cartridge would be VERY interesting too, especially if you could get a photo of one un-altered and one wildcatted together! That'd help show the differences. I'll try and get one of each but feel free to add your own story/photos and any info that you might have on them.
Looking forward to seeing what is out there!
