I'd like to open a discussion about cartridges that forum members WISH that they made or at least that were more readilly acceptable and available.
I, for one have a few wishes:
1) I want a 475 caliber that is, in essence, a shortened 50 BMG. Cartridge OAL would be no longer than the 375 H&H and the case would resemble a Short Fat magnum. The intended use would be shooting long-range targets with VLD bullets from bench-rest rifles. The primary advantage would be lessened recoil and lighter rifle platforms. One could even use the gun for Africa or Alaska if one desired. And whey California bans the 50 caliber, those poor souls can still shoot something BIG and FUN.
2) How about a rimfire that you can use for hunting AND plinking. Maybe a 25 caliber along the same power lines as the 30/30 or 7.62x39 that you could make for half the cost of Russian surplus ammo? Say .05 cents a pop?
I know somebody else has one that they're itching to see made.
