Re: New Wildcat Project for my 1886 450 2.44"
I haven't looked it up well yet. There is a 9.something rimmed cartridge that is straight wall and operates at a reasonable pressure for what I want to do. I think it sounds fun. I plan on starting this Fall.

I have a book by one of the people who made one of CRS' double guns. I just don't have the time or place. I want to put a 9.3X76 or something like that into a double on an old 20 gauge action I have.

Part of the edge on stainless is having the right sharpening equipment. Carbotundum stones sharpen only a few grades of stainless. 420, AUS 8, and the softer ones.
