i know theres websites that has lists of wildcats but lets hear some of your wildcat ideas
what about a 10mm case necked to a 7.62 85gr tokarev?
Or, conversely, de-neck a .30-06, .308, 7.62x54r, or even x39. It would pretty much emulate a hot 10mm or .41 or .44 magnum, I figure, but a straightwalled .308 or x39 and a new barrel, spring, and slight mods to a Saiga or AR would get one heck of a thumper.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a custom barrel for something to produce .17HMR ballistics with a heavier bullet, in a reloadable format. A necked-down .223 of some sort 17 fireball or 17rem or even necked-down pistol cartridges should work. A .17x.25 or .32? 5mm Craig, 17Hornet Small, compact, lightning-quick. Fun. Would love trying that with .30 carbine or .357 22Johnson Spitfire, 17/30 carbine (pee-wee), 17bee if I could buy barrels in six-packs. I understand it's been done in .17x.40, which is an... unusual round.

In fact, doing that with a x54r or .30-30 could get it into a handgun-capable format that could outperform any revolver-based round of the same diameter. not at all, x54 straight is not going to come close to 500 or 460 S&W and 35-30 and the like have been done to death as a way to have a mild cartridge that won't stretch a contender frame You'd have to do some experimenting and bring along a wrist brace, though.
