Sitting here wondering.......has anyone here done or heard of anyone doing any wildcats off the RCM case?

I was looking at some loaded rounds the other day at the gunshop. Looked a little smaller than the WSM case. 6.5 and 6mm options were first to come to mind.

Sorry just thinking out loud!

I think Jim (Mr Furious) was thinking of doing one in 25 caliber if I remember right. Don't know if he finished it though.

I have been pondering a 6.5 RCM personally. Will be interesting to see if anyone rolls one up.

I've been considering a 7mm RCM for a while using a heavy shank 7mm Remington Mag (ie.. Ruger) takeoff barrel. Chuck it in a lathe, shorten it enough to get a good throat, turn it down, thread and rechamber.....of course a custom $150 reamer and custom dies for another $100+ have sort of kept me from it.
