Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

@Sublime one
Wanted to give you an update on the wildcat cartridge. I have unofficially named it the 300TCJ,
I have fitted the barrel to the action. And I got the chamber cut yesterday. Like I said in my last post I have to cut the neck and throat separately I haven't done that yet. Still haven't decided on a reamer yet. But the chamber is cut. And I made up 21 cases yesterday and fire formed one (with a shortend neck obviously) is still have alot to do on the actual action. I have to cut and weld the bolt to clear a scope. Drill and tap the action. Mount the base and build a stock. I'm getting excited for it I'm hoping to get it done by November and be able to take it hunting this year!
Here is a picture of the fireformed case (no neck) compared to the mock up case I originally made.

Man that is sure a lot of work, folks for the most part don’t really understand all the second and third tier solutions you have to come up with when creating a cartridge. Being in Arkansas we have access to a lot of firearm creativity and custom stuff. I am very fortunate to be able to get a lot of inside looks on the manufacturing side of both ammo and firearms. You get to where you run a couple dummies save me one, I will shadow box it and put it in the shop. Nice work guy.
