so does anyone out there have a wildcat that is simply a necked-down 7.62x39?

YES
As started in my previous thread the Beggs rounds are pretty close to what you talking about same case taper, same case capacity, same case, just a slight tweak to the neck. you could likey make it from 7.62x39 brass in single pass. you would never know it wasent a simple neck down if you were not told. the round is proven very accurate holds world records.
there are also guys who have done 6mmx39 with no changes but the neck but they get brass stretch an have to trimm a lot more when they reload. A
you can likley take redding S series busshing dies for a 7.62x39 an an use a .272 bushing an form a necked down 7.62x39 or better yet a necked up 220 russain with good brass. a reamer can be had for $140 from PTG done on you case. is not really that hard.
I was looking hard at the 6mm beggs on a target AK as well for use in a bench rest type bolt action. I decided a 6mm BR or dasher was closer to my needs at long range.
