[QUOTE="B Gordon, post: 2290574, member: 29719"] WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!! It might be technically "better" but still not be a good choice particularly given the fact that the original question contained this sentence; "Should I get it in a bolt action or build one on an ar10 platform? uses will be hunting white tail and some lopes maybe hogs, general shooting out to 700-1000 yards." Anybody looking at a semi-auto absolutely must stay away from the wildcat cartridges due to potential feeding and finctioning issues unless they are a pretty darn good gunsmith. If you can't buy ammo "off the shelf" it doesn't count in my opinion, so for that reason I (and most other shooters) would disagree just on general principals. Same with the "Ackley Improved" versions and thousands of other wildcat cartridges. It brings a shooter into a whole new world or reamer variations, custom loading dies, lack of safe reloading data, suitable component choices, brass forming, etc., etc. If some shooter goes that route he needs to understand a lot more about assembling ammunition than straightforward reloading using off the shelf components and responsibly published data.
