What is your favorite wildcat cartridge

[witchhunter]

A lot of our commercial ammo started out as wildcats. 22/250, 25/06 and the .243 probably being the most popular. But I'm with Murf, the 220 Swift AI is sweet, Ackley solved the brass flowing into the neck problem with this wildcat coming from an old 6mm Lee Navy. All of the cartridges started from either a .375 H&H, .30/06, 30/30 or .308 for almost all of our big game cartridges. The .222 spawned almost all of our small stuff from the .17 Fireball to the .300 Blackout. I guess there are very few (6PPC) that started elsewhere, even the 6BR was a .308 that morphed into a small primered case when the 7 Remington BR was introduced.

Hopefully not a wildcat much longer but the 458 SOCOM for me also.
