Hoss50 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 More info will probably net you more accurate and more answers. Are you talking .22-50bmg or 5.45x700 nitro? Wildcats are cool in my book, what are you thinking? Harley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 Do it. I have always wanted to build a 6.5-06. I know it can be done and would be a sweet rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJ Long range Report post Posted October 17, 2015 I'm just trying to find a reamer. It'll be a single shot. On a short action to prove the concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatsie Report post Posted October 17, 2015 I would call PTG or JGS if you have dimensions or a concept and they can make it. I would call and talk to them however, most likely there is already a reamer that has been made for your wildcat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 I know 6.5-06 has already been built which should be basically what you are talking about building so the reamer already exists. It would be finding 1 especially in ackley improved. I have not delved into building mine much yet, but it has always been on my wish list when I actually can build a rifle.

CJ Long range Report post Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks guys! I'll give them both a call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 6.5-06 is easily done. your can probably find everything you need on midway. Keep in mind though that the 6.5-06 and the 6.5-284 are ballistically identical, so close that even load data can be interchanged between the two. Given the popularity of the 6.5-284 it may prove easier and possibly cheaper to go that route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goatsie Report post Posted October 17, 2015 I'm not going 6.5-06 But close. Trying to build it on the 270 ackley improved. I am a HUGE wildcat fan, however I would do plenty of research before having a reamer and dies made. There is likely already a wildcat with the parent case or specs similar. I would go to accurateshooter.com and ask around. I would put money that what you are trying to do has already been done, or there is a reason why it has not been done. I am all for innovation however! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
