Lets see if I can fire up an interesting thread that might provide some good reading over the weekend.
If you own a rifle chambered for a "wildcat", proprietary round (JDJ, Grendel ect) or an extreme variation on a factory round (I.E. a 1-7" twist 22-250) please post about it. Tell us about the gun, the round itself and what it does. Pics would be great and will be appreciated.
I've done two recently both small capacity 30 caliber rounds.
My current is an AR15 upper chambered for a rimless version of 30Herrett formed on 6.8SPC cases called 30HerrettTacticalRimless. This cambering gives me the advantage over 7.62x39 in that I have magazines that feed well, a stronger bolt and better stronger brass selection. From my 20" white oak upper 125g Sierra spitzers hit mid 2600fps+ speeds and 150 rem RN bullets are right at 2300
The other (since sold and 100% my development) was an improved version of 7.62x39mm with the shoulder angle and body taper of a 6mmPPC
