I have been doing a bunch of research, and believe I see a market for a cartridge that has not really been addressed yet. I have the drawings done up, and am in the saving money stage for the engineering and tooling for the casings. (along with the multitude of legal matters!!!)
I would like input from my fellow shooters as to what you are looking for in your ammunition.

Would like to hear from hunters, bench rest, long gun competition, tactical teams, essentially everyone.

Are you looking for certain velocities, energy, recoil levels, barrel life, etc...

For tactical (read SWAT teams, and snipers) are you worried about over penetrations, or having to go through barriers?

Any input would be a great help, and would be truly appreciated!!

Thank You

I guess I should mention that this is a "rifle" cartridge that I'm looking to develop.
And would also like to hear input from hunters from Indiana...
