Re: Stupid Wildcat
Bet barrel life isn't real good , plenty of muzzle blast so no good at night . They would be like a tracer round in the daytime

Re: Stupid Wildcat
Twist rate? Probably none, if you want the bullet to hold together.
Need a mile long barrel just to ensure the powder got burnt.
Imagine how heavy the barrel would be 50BMG OD with a .17 ID...
As I said 'Stupid' but a talking piece.

Rimmed?
Is there an Ackley version?

Tapered like a bastard.
Perfect varmint cartridge.
Better than the 204/243 I was contemplating ??

Re: Stupid Wildcat
As someone pointed out this is probably a fake wildcat. It's unlikely to be 50BMG brass because of the taper/rim.
Re: Stupid Wildcat
If I had to guess, I'd say 17-303, if you compare the diameter of the bullet, to the case diameter at the shoulder. Failing that, something old, rimmed and huge, and no, I'm not talking about Camel.

Re: Stupid Wildcat
That would be more likely to shoot the barrel than the pill. at what stage in the game did someone decide that was the way forward lol its got to be bullshit
