    Wildcats

    What really gets tricky, is when you have nothing to go by, for example the 22 X 55 Swede there is nothing even close, with it's 55gr load capacity the closest thing I could find, was a 22-243 wildcat and that was only 45gr of powder, so that is when experience comes in, along with knowing powder burn rates and how quickly they build pressure.

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    Yup, went and am still going through the same thing with my 6-WSM. It can be a process, but often worth it and always educational.
